Allow HTML/JavaScript/CSS Content

Administrators use this system setting to determine whether users can apply and save HTML, JavaScript, and CSS markup in various text fields for analyses and dashboards, and how any previously saved markup is used.

Valid Values

  • Always — Enables users to apply markup. Displays the Contains HTML/JavaScript/CSS Markup option in dialogs where additional formatting might be useful. For example:
    • For analyses: Various dialogs in the analysis editor, Analysis Properties dialog, Column Properties (Column Format) dialog, Edit Column Formula dialog, Narrative dialog, Ticker dialog, Static Text dialog, and New Calculated Measure dialog.
    • For dashboards: Various dialogs in the dashboard editor, Text Properties dialog, and Edit Header and Edit Footer dialogs (under Print and Export Options).
  • Never — Prevents users from applying markup. Hides the Contains HTML/JavaScript/CSS Markup option. Users can only enter plain text. Oracle Analytics ignores any markup that users previously entered and saved for their analyses and dashboards.
  • HTML Only — Enables users to apply HTML markup. Displays the Contains HTML/JavaScript/CSS Markup option in dialogs where additional formatting might be useful but only safe HTML is allowed (no JavaScript or CSS). When an analysis or dashboard opens, Oracle Analytics sanitizes any markup that users have entered and applies only the HTML markup.
  • On Open — Prevents users from applying additional markup (existing markup is retained). Hides the Contains HTML/JavaScript/CSS Markup option so users can enter only plain text. Any previously saved markup for analyses and dashboards continues to be applied. Default
