Results tab: Title editor

Use this editor of the "Analysis editor: Results tab" to edit a title view. You can add a title, a subtitle, a logo, a link to a custom help or other related information, and timestamps to the analysis.

For more information, see "Editing Views."

Components

Title

Use this field to enter the text to display as the title. Do not include HTML markup.

If you do not specify a title, then the name of the saved analysis is used as the title. For unsaved analyses, the Title text box is blank.

Format Title

Use this button to display the "Format Title dialog," where you format the title.

Display Saved Name

Use this box to specify whether to show the saved name of the analysis. Select the box to show the saved name. Deselect the box to hide it.

Logo

Use this field to specify a logo image or other graphic to display in the title. To do so, enter one of the following:

• The URL to a logo image or graphic.

  
  

  Note: Printing to PDF does not support a logo image or graphic that you specify using a URL. If you want to print to PDF, use the fmap syntax instead.

  
  

• The fmap syntax to reference a logo image or graphic that is stored locally in the Oracle Business Intelligence environment. For more information on the fmap syntax, see "Storing Custom Files Locally and Using the fmap Function to Reference Them."

The image or graphic file should be one that is accessible to all users who view the analysis.

Format Logo

Use this button to display the "Format Logo dialog," where you format the logo.

Subtitle

Use this field to enter the text to display as a subtitle. The subtitle follows the title on a new line.

Format Subtitle

Help URL

Use this field to display a Help icon (that is, a question mark) that links to a custom help file or other related information in the title. To do so, enter one of the following:

• The URL to a custom help file or other related information.

• The fmap syntax to reference a custom help file or other related information that is stored locally in the Oracle Business Intelligence environment. For more information on the fmap syntax, see "Storing Custom Files Locally and Using the fmap Function to Reference Them."

The custom help file or other related information should be one that is accessible to all users who view the analysis.

Toolbar

The toolbar contains the following buttons:

• Buttons that are common to all views. For more information, see "Toolbar Buttons Common to All Views."

• Format Title View — Use this button to display the "Format Title View dialog," where you specify formatting for the view.

Storing Custom Files Locally and Using the fmap Function to Reference Them

You can store custom files, such as images and help files, locally in your Oracle Business Intelligence environment and then easily reference them using the fmap function. For example, you can store an image locally to display in a title view. Then, when you specify the image for the title view in the "Results tab: Title editor," you can use the fmap function to reference it.

To store custom files locally, you must use the following directory and expose it according to the instructions for the HTTP Server that your organization uses:

ORACLE_INSTANCE/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obipsn/analyticsRes

You can store files directly in this directory or in subdirectories in this directory. It is strongly recommended that you use ASCII characters for names of custom files that you reference using the fmap syntax.

To easily reference custom files that are stored in the analyticsRes directory, use the following fmap syntax:

fmap:location/file_name

where:

• location/ is the subdirectory path in the analyticsRes directory in which the custom file resides, if the custom file resides in a subdirectory of analyticsRes (for example: Images/).

  
  

  Note: Logo images and graphics located in the analyticsRes directory should all be stored in the same folder.

  
  

• file_name is the name of the custom file (for example: newlogo.gif).

The following are examples of fmap commands:

fmap:mylogo.gif
fmap:Images/newlogo.gif

If you are trying to save an object that uses the fmap syntax, then you must have the Save Content with HTML Markup privilege. See "Managing Presentation Services Privileges" in Security Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition for information on privileges.
