Hi there,
I am trying to create a Portal, where I can Filter and where I can Filter in Fexes, sothat others Change.
That Means I want to user "Pages" and "Refresh Bi Portal Drilldowns" in Portals.

So the General question is: does that work? Is it possible to use both Features at the same time?

And if it is possible, are there like Special thinks or commandos I need to know??

I just tried this in 8203. It doesn't look like you can have a Refresh BI Portal asset in a Page within a Collaborative Portal. It neither works nor errors out. I added the individual charts in a Collaborative BI Portal and they worked fine though. Is there a specific reason you need the chart/reports inside a Page before you add them to the portal? You may want to reach out to IB tech support. Also it'd be great if you share their response with us.

I Need to put it into a page before, sothat I can fiilter many Reports at one time..

But on the other Hand I Need a combined solution + it Needs to be created with Infoassist techniques.

jenni, this is a case (and response) that I opened with IBI that might be similar to yours.

Question by me..
I've created a Page using Webfocus Designer and added content that uses Amper variables. I see how I can create filters within the page, but I have an HTML document that I want to use to pass the variables to the page. I've add both the Page and the HTML filter document to a portal, but setting the filters has no affect on the Page. I know that I can add the individual contents that I had added to the Page to the portal and the filtering will work, but is there a way that the Page could recognize the Amper variables.

Response from IBI..
We do not yet offer this functionality but it is a part of our features roadmap for the Page Designer.
We are working towards introducing this added functionality in a later release - possibly the 8204 release of WebFOCUS.

Kind Regards,
Michelle Moody

So, if I'm hearing correctly, the goal is to pass parameters from the WF Designer built page, to an HTML page before submission to various reports/graphs within that HTML page?

We've always just built the filtering into the HTML page beforehand and just dropped the HTML pages into a portal container after. That way it's loosely coupled from the portal product.

CoolGuy,

What I wanted to do was to create a WF Designer "Page" with multiple content. But instead of using it's "built in" filtering capability, I created a HTML filter page. I then dropped them into two separate Portal containers. I was hoping to be able to select a filter on the filter page and have it filter the content on the WF Designer "Page". It did not.

What I've done in the past is drop the individual contents into individual portal containers and the filter page into it's own portal container and it all works. But I like the look of the WF Designer "Page" and was hoping to use it.

Gotchya, I think. So, your HTML filter page does not house your WF Designer page? It's living in a portal container as a sibling to a WF Designer page? Also, are you using a V3 Basic Portal container or V4 Collaborative Portal container?

I agree though, that I hope to see them make it highly interchangeable with existing product offerings. They've got so many layout page options, they really need to make them compatible.

It's living in a portal container as a sibling to a WF Designer page. My HTML filter page does not house the WF Designer page. I was not able to do that in App Studio. Doesn't seem to be a feature. I also tried placing the HTML filter page inside the WF Designer page. The WF Designer lets you do that, but the filters don't get applied to the content within the page.

Clear as mud. That's no fun. Hopefully they'll implement that feature soon for us, or expand the functionality of the existing preview of WF Designer so it can consume outside data sources. Looks like that's the plan at least. Sorry man!
