How to “Return to previous screen From Target Page

Hello All,

Today will discuss a simple thing which so many reporting people don’t know how to “Return to previous screen from target page”

Check the below screen, if I will click on “Return to previous screen” It should go to “Home page of OBIEE”

You can set any thing as ‘’Return to previous screen” for example Report, Dashboard, Agent, KPL or any browser link. Here I have taken home page of OBIEE as “Return to previous screen”.














Steps:
1: Go to Target page - Dashboard and click on edit dashboard

2: Drag the Text object from dashboard object.
3: Go to Text object properties and check the “Contain HTML Markup”
4: Put the below HTML code and in href give it your OBIEE home page path. Save the dashboard
            <div>
<a href=http://obi.rakeshpatil.net/analytics/saw.dll?bieehome>
Returns to Previous Screen
</a>
</div>
5: Save the dashboard and click on “Return to Pervious screen”. Once you click on “Return on Pervious Screen” Home page of OIBEE came from target page.

If you have any question, Please don’t hesitate to contact me.
