What Is a Presentation Flow?
Use the presentation flow to customize the workbook for consumers. A presentation flow hides the complexity of the workbook's design and provides consumers with the most effective way to navigate and interact with their data.
By default Oracle Analytics creates a presentation flow based on the workbook that you design in Visualize. The default presentation flow is displayed the first time you access Present. The presentation flow is identical to the workbook you designed in Visualize and contains all of the workbook's canvases, visualizations, filters, and so on.
If you preview the workbook from Visualize and are happy with the design and functionality, then you don't have to do anything. But if you want to fine tune the workbook, you can use Present to modify the presentation flow to better suit the workbook consumer's needs. Present gives you as the author the ability to provide the best navigation and interactivity.
- Hide unfinished canvases.
- Hide visualizations.
- Provide more options on a visualization's toolbar or menu.
- Hide the workbook's filter bar.
- Change the order of the canvases.
Remember that if you want to change a canvas' content, for example add a new visualization, then you use Visualize. Any changes you make in Visualize are included in the presentation flow in Present. But when you use Present to polish the end user experience, any changes you make aren't applied to the workbook's design in Visualize.
