Embedding Reports

Embedding reports relies upon script-based report object creation and placement features. See “Embedding Reports” in the Hyperion Interactive Reporting – Object Model and Dashboard Development Services Developer's Guide, Volume 5: Dashboard Studio.

*  To use the Build Dashboard frame to create dashboards that contain embedded reports:

  1. In Interactive Reporting Studio or EPM Workspace, open a dashboard that contains the Webdash_builder sample.

  2. From Sections, select Build Dashboard.

  3. Optional: Use the Create Local Filters section to set local filters.

  4. In Create and Configure Dashboards, enter a dashboard name.

    For example, enter Summary Report.

  5. From Prototype, select a layout, and click Copy button (Add).

    For example, select 1 Square.

    The dashboard name is displayed in Navigation Targets and above the preview frame.

  6. Optional: To change the name or panel layout, enter another Dashboard Name or select another prototype, and click Rename button (Modify).

    Caution!

    If you rename a dashboard frame to Item, an error is displayed in the Interactive Reporting Studio Console window.

  7. From Available Objects, select a report, and click the preview frame to display the icon.

  8. Optional: Select multiple available objects, and click Next button for the best-guess option.

    Next button is selectable only if the preview frame is empty. When an object is added to a panel, Next button is not selectable.

  9. Repeat steps 3–8 to build another frame that contains an embedded report.

  10. Optional: Reorder Navigation Targets by selecting a target and clicking Move Up button or Move Down button.

    After Apply is clicked, this reorders the navigation of frames in the dashboard.

  11. Click Apply to create the dashboard.

Note:

When embedding a report into a Webdash document using the Build Dashboard frame, the name of the report must begin with Pivot to be recognized as a tabular structure.
