Scope of Dashboard Prompts

So many people don’t know about scope of dashboard prompt or few people thing is it does not work.

There are basically two ways to assign Dashboard Prompts as scope

1. Dashboard
2. Page

Suppose you have selected scope as “Dashboard” This says Selection of this prompt will be reflected in other prompts within the dashboard.

Example – Suppose you have a dashboard with 3 pages (Page1 - Rakesh, Page2 - Patil, Page2 -OBIEE).

You need to create a Date prompt in “Page1-Rakesh” in such a way that it will interact with page Page1 - Rakesh, Page2 - Patil, Page2 – OBIEE.

Steps:

Create Date Prompt

Create 3 Dashboard Pages -- > Page1- Rakesh, Page2-Patil, Page2–OBIEE

Drag Date Prompt into Page1- Rakesh, Page2-Patil, Page2 –OBIEE

In Page 1- Rakesh --> Go to prompt properties – select Scope as Dashboard.

Save the dashboard.  

Now you select any date - whichever Date you have selected it will reflect into all 3 page.

Suppose you have selected scope as “Page”  This does is say that any selections made for this prompt will not be used to set other prompts within the dashboard
