Using Personal Pages

Subtopics

Personal Pages are customizable pages enabling you to organize, view, and access EPM Workspace items and other Web content on Web pages. Items on personal pages do not interact with each other. If items change, it cannot propagate changes to items on the Personal Page. To build interactive dashboards, see Oracle Hyperion Interactive Reporting Object Model and Dashboard Development Services Developer's Guide, Volume I: Dashboard Design Guide.

You can modify the content and layout of Personal Pages, create additional Personal Pages, copy and customize Personal Pages, add links to repository items or to a website.

Content windows and file content windows are the components that make up a Personal Page.. Personal Pages open in the maximize mode, automatically hiding the view pane. When publishing personal pages, you can set access permissions during the personal page publish phase. Bookmarks for Web Analysis, Production Reporting, Financial Reporting, and Interactive Reporting jobs open as new tabs in EPM Workspace.

Content windows are collections of links to repository items or external sources, image bookmarks, and Broadcast Messages.
File content windows display the contents of an item opposed to a link to the item. You can display the contents of the following items:
- Embedded Interactive Reporting document sections
- HTML files
- HTML job output

Add or remove content windows or file content windows. Content windows and file content windows are optional except Broadcast Messages. You cannot remove Broadcast Messages, nor delete a Personal Page that displays them, unless you have another Personal Page that displays the Broadcast Messages.

Content on Personal Pages include:

Broadcast Messages—Link to special folders that the administrator populates. The contents of this folder are displayed as one or more content windows and set up and managed by the administrator.
Broadcast messages contains two sub-folders:
- Personal Page Content—Published personal pages.
- Sample Personal Page—Content on personal pages set up by the administrator and content that you add to personal pages by subscribing to items.
My Bookmarks—Collection of links to Web pages or repository items.
Image bookmarks—Graphic links to web pages or repository items.
HTML file or job output displayed as a file content window—Contents of EPM Workspace HTML items displayed on a Personal Page. URLs are also displayable.
Exceptions Dashboard—Add traffic light indicators for jobs enabled for exceptions, or items flagged as exceptions. If the traffic light is red, the item was flagged as an exception or the job generated an exception. If the traffic light is green, the job did not yet generate an exception.
Displayable Interactive Reporting sections—Sections from Interactive Reporting documents and Interactive Reporting job output to which you have access.
