Dashboard Studio ships with assorted frame prototypes. A frame prototype determines the layout and features available for each dashboard frame. Templates can contain several frame prototypes.
This topic looks at how to create a frame prototype. Dashboard Studio templates contain frame prototypes that act as factories from which frames are duplicated. Dashboard frames are created in Step 2: Add and Rename Frames.
Frame layouts can be customized by changing frames or creating frame types. The most common method involves changing a frame prototype.
The key elements in a frame prototype are these text labels:
See Template Structure, for more information the key elements.
The FrameType for prototypes must be unique in an Oracle's Hyperion® Interactive Reporting document. However, the FrameType for frames may not be unique.
Table 13 provides a comparison between frame prototypes and frames.
Table 13. Comparison Between Frame Prototypes and Frames
CloneImplements != “” | CloneImplements == “” |
PrototypeName == “” | PrototypeName != “” |
The CloneImplements property describes the part of the frame that is duplicated or cloned and the role it plays. Dashboard Studio detects the property in the dashboard building process. The PrototypeName property is the frame prototype name.
Frame prototypes are listed in Step 2: Add and Rename Frames of Dashboard Studio, in the Frame prototype to use drop-down list.
