Setting Dashboard Home Sections

Use the Dashboard Home dialog box to select a section to set as the home dashboard section (the first section that is displayed when the document is opened). In addition for Interactive Reporting users only, use the Dashboard Home dialog box to enable the preloading of the active home section in order to increase loading performance in EPM Workspace. This option is enabled only when the selected dashboard section in an Interactive Reporting document contains a minimum of one dashboard with at least one embedded browser.

Section rules define the first displayed section when a document is opened:

In releases earlier than Release 9.3, the default home section was the first section added to the document. In Release 9.3, there is no default home section; that is, if no home section is defined, none is assumed in Interactive Reporting.

To enable the Dashboard Home toolbar button when an Interactive Reporting document file is deployed in the EPM Workspace, Dashboard home must be explicitly set in Interactive Reporting Studio or Interactive Reporting Web Client.

Note:

  To specify a home dashboard section:

  1. From the Dashboard menu, select Home Dialog.

  2. Select the dashboard to use for the home section.

  3. Optional: To use a hidden dashboard section, select View, then Unhide section and select the section before displaying the Dashboard Home dialog box.

    When you save the Interactive Reporting document, the section is no longer hidden.

  4. To preload embedded browser objects, click Preload.

  5. Click OK.

Note:

Setting a home dashboard section in Design mode activates Dashboard Home icon (Dashboard Home) on the toolbar.
