Dashboard Page Links

You can create links to dashboard pages, if allowed at your organization. This lets you, for example, save a link as a bookmark or copy and send a link to other users in email.

There are two types of links that you can create — bookmark links and prompted links.

Bookmark Links

A bookmark link captures the path to a dashboard page and all aspects of the page state, for example:

http://localhost/10.1.3.2/saw.dll?Dashboard&_
scid=7ndOC-SjmWo&PortalPath=%2Fusers%2Fadministrator%2F_
portal&Page=p2&PageIdentifier=7fsg0r2sdssvgen4&BookmarkState=r78an1mbj0fj4lmqhdjfn

After you create a bookmark link, you can:

  • Save the link as a bookmark so that you can return to the exact same page content at a later time.

  • Copy and send the link to other users who then can view the exact same content that you are viewing, providing they have the same permissions as you and have access to the page.

When you create a bookmark link, the state of a dashboard page is saved in the catalog as a hidden bookmark object for the amount of time that your organization specifies. The default is 30 days. Because the state of a dashboard page is saved when you create a bookmark link, you can continue to modify the content of the page after you create the link.

Prompted Links

A prompted link captures the path to a dashboard page and a simplified presentation of the dashboard prompts, for example:

...Action=Navigate&col1=Products.Color&val1="Armory"+"Clear"&col2=Periods."Month"&
op2=gt&val2="05/01/1998%2012:00:00%20AM"

When you create a prompted link, you can manually or programmatically manipulate the link, such as by adding different values for the prompts.

Prompted Link Syntax

The prompted link syntax is as follows:

<Content Path>, Action=Navigate, Column1 (col1), Operator1 (op1), Values1 (val1),
Column2 (col2), Operator2 (op2), Values2 (val2)…
When manipulating this syntax:

  • Use plus signs to separate values.

  • Use the same operators as those for the Go URL. For a list of these operators, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Integrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition

  • Optionally omit the operator parameter for equal (eq).

  • Optionally omit the double quotes if there are no white spaces inside the values.
