Accessing My Dashboard

Dashboards provide a means for users to access data analyses in a variety of formats. You can add a almost any object to dashboards.

To access your saved dashboards

1. In the Analytics tab, pull down the Dashboards menu and choose My Dashboards.
2. Navigate to a dashboard to open and click the Open link. The dashboard is opened to the first Dashboard page. If no content has been added, then an empty dashboard page notification message is displayed.
3. (optional) Perform any of the following tasks:
   • Display the dashboard in the Dashboard builder for editing.
   • Navigate among dashboard pages by clicking the page tabs.
   • Print a page.
   • Refresh a page. Perform this task to ensure that the refresh operation bypasses saved information in the Oracle BI Presentation Services cache and is issued to the Oracle BI Server for processing.
     When you select a specific dashboard or analysis, Presentation Services checks its cache to determine if the identical results have recently been requested. If so, Presentation Services returns the most recent results, thereby avoiding unnecessary processing by the BI Server and the back-end database. If not, the analysis is issued to the BI Server for processing. You cannot force the analysis past the BI Server's cache.
