Understand How Dashboard Pages and Oracle Analytics Publisher Reports Interact

You can run, view, and interact with a Publisher report on a dashboard page.

When you add a Publisher report to a dashboard page, the report includes a toolbar that provides these options:

• Analyze the data in the report.
• Select the layout template of the report.
• Change the output format of the report.
• Export the report.
• Send the report to an available destination such as a printer, fax, email, or FTP.
• Schedule the report.

When you configure an agent for a dashboard page that contains a Publisher report, be aware of these criteria:

• The output format of the Publisher report must be PDF.
• The agent must be set to deliver content in PDF format.

You can print a dashboard page or a briefing book that contains a Publisher report in certain formats.

If you want to print a dashboard page that contains a Publisher report or to include the page in a briefing book, then you must keep the following points in mind:

• If you print the briefing book as PDF and if the output format of the Publisher report is PDF, then the Publisher report is printed after the other objects on the page. If you print a dashboard page that contains a Publisher report as PDF, but the dashboard page isn’t part of a briefing book, then the Publisher report isn’t printed.
• If you print the dashboard page or briefing book as MHTML, then the Publisher report isn’t printed.
