Mapping OBIEE URL Parameters to the EnterpriseOne Form

When you select an OBIEE Dashboard object, the What type of link section does not appear in the workspace content frame. You cannot create dynamic links for OBIEE Dashboard content.

If you select an OBIEE Answer instead of an OBIEE Dashboard page when creating your OBIEE object content, you have the opportunity to create dynamic links. When you select an OBIEE Answer object, the type of link is set to the Dynamic Link option by default. The Dynamic link option enables you to map the OBIEE URL parameters to the EnterpriseOne form. The system automatically formats the OBIEE Answer URL parameters into table format. The table shows these columns:

• Parameters

  This column lists the parameters that you can map to the open EnterpriseOne form or to customize text.

• Operation

  This column provides a drop-down list that shows options for mapping the parameter to the open EnterpriseOne form or to customized text:

  • top

  • bottom

  • equal

  • not equal

  • less

  • greater or equal

  • less or equal

  • between

  • in the list

  • begins with

  • ends with

  • contains all

  • contains any

• Parameter Value

  The column shows the data dictionary item and name of the EnterpriseOne field that is mapped to the parameter. You can add multiple fields as well as custom text in the Parameter Value column.

To map parameters:

1. In the What type of link section, verify that the Dynamic Link option is selected and that the parameter table appears.

2. Optionally enter text that you want to map to in the Custom Text field.

3. Select one of the parameters.

4. Change the Operation column to the desired value.

   This action starts the capture mode. During the capture phase, a key indicator, which appears as an orange plus sign, shows the fields or grid rows or columns that you can select. The key indicator also appears in the Customized Text field on the content frame, making it available for selection.

5. Click the plus sign beside a valid field or grid row or column on the open EnterpriseOne form or click the Custom Text field.

   A valid field is a text field and value on the form. Data privacy fields, password fields, hidden text, and fields with wildcard values cannot be mapped.

   You can change the custom text by clicking the question mark beside the parameter value, change the text in the custom Text field, and then click the plus sign next to the Custom Text value.

   To delete a parameter value, hover over the value and then click the Delete icon that appears beside it.

6. After you finish mapping a parameter, the contextual parameter indicator, which is an orange highlight, appears in the parameter value field in the mapping area.

7. When you are finished mapping parameters, click Save or select an option in the When do you want to see it section.

When you map parameters to the EnterpriseOne form, the Composite Application Framework shows an orange highlight bar on the EnterpriseOne form and in the title bar of the content frame, indicating that content in the content frame is specifically mapped the EnterpriseOne form.
