Adding Views for Custom Analytics Dashboards

This task is part of the Process of Customizing Analytics Application Home Page and Dashboards, and is similar to that of adding Siebel Business Analytics reports to the home page:

• Using Siebel Tools, set up a new view.
• In the Siebel operational application, define a symbolic URL for that view.

  For more information on how to set up a view to use Symbolic URLs, see Siebel Portal Framework Guide.

To configure the symbolic URL for Analytics dashboards

1. Define a Symbolic URL.
   1. Navigate to Site Map > Integration Administration > Symbolic URL Administration.
   2. In the Symbolic URL Administration view, add a new record.
2. Define Symbolic URL arguments.
   1. Navigate to Symbolic URL Administration.
   2. In the Symbolic URL Administration list, select the Symbolic URL you want to configure.
   3. In the Symbolic URL Arguments list, enter the arguments that need to be sent to the external host.

      The following table shows the symbolic URL argument definitions for dashboards.

      Parameter	Value
      Fixup Name	Default
      SSO Disposition	IFrame
      Analytics Web application name	Select from the drop-down list.

      The following table shows the symbolic URL path arguments for dashboards.

      Cmd	Constant	PortalPages	Y	1
      PortalPath	Constant	/shared/Executive/_Portal/Executive	Y	2

      PostRequest	Command	PostRequest	Y	5

3. In Siebel Business Analytics, create the dashboards.

   NOTE:  Only an Analytics Web administrator can perform this step.

4. In Siebel Business Analytics, set up the dashboards to your requirements.
