Saving Dashboards by Other Names and in Other Locations

You can save a dashboard:

• By another name

  The new name for the dashboard must not exist in the destination folder, otherwise, the save operation fails.

• Anywhere in the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog

  If you save the dashboard in the Dashboards subfolder directly under /Shared Folders/first level subfolder, then the dashboard is listed in the Dashboard menu in the global header. If you save it in a Dashboards subfolder at any other level (such as /Shared Folders/Sales/Eastern), then it is not listed. The dashboard is also not listed if you save it in a subfolder under the Dashboards subfolder, such as /Shared Folders/Sales/Dashboards/Eastern.

  If you choose a folder in the Dashboards subfolder directly under /Shared Folders/first level subfolder in which no dashboards have been saved, then a new "Dashboards" folder is automatically created in that folder in which to save the new dashboard. For example, if you choose a folder named /Shared Folders/Sales in which no dashboards have been saved, a new Dashboards folder is automatically created and the Location entry changes to /Shared Folders/Sales/Dashboards. (A new "Dashboards" folder is not automatically created if you choose a folder at any other level.)

To save a dashboard by another name or in another location:

1. Edit the dashboard. For information, see "Editing Dashboards."

2. Click the Save Dashboard As toolbar button to display a dialog, where you specify the save criteria.
