Hi,

I would like to call my dashboard group view with parameters from other application. How can I do that?

I know I can call the dashboard group view URL directly from the application but I would like to know the way to pass the parameters along with the URL.

Example: http://servername/ibi_apps/bid/viewname will directly take you to the dashboard but I want to pass a parameter to the dashboard from other application.

Thanks

The parameters need to be passed to the programs that run within quadrants of the dashboard view - they work independently from the dashboard view. You cannot pass the parameters in the URL.

One possible way of achieving this would be to write the parameters to a file/files in FOCCACHE and then each program in the dashboard view reads the file/files to retrieve the parameters.

Hi, I'd like to resurrect this question and see if this can be done?

I'd like to pass a Number to the Group Dashboard just like we pass it in our other reports. The only reason we have the report in a Group Dashboard (with 2 tabs) is because this specific report only runs deferred and so we utilize the Deferred Status tab.

School's out.

There's just no way to tack a variable to the end of a Dashboard URL and have it passed to a quadrant in a tab.

You'll have the create a cookie or write to a file.

By the way, I'm confused by your statement "The only reason we have the report in a Group Dashboard is because this specific report only runs deferred and so we utilize the Deferred Status tab" - are you adding a report normally run deferred to a dashboard view to run it online?

It is triggered through an HTML page linked within APEX with lots of selection criteria that the Engineers on the field check off through their mobile devices and click a button to send off the request to build all these documents from all these components while they go off doing something else. They go back to the dashboard to check periodically if their files are ready.

But, while they're in APEX, they are already working within a selected Project field value which is chained to other controls in the dashboard. So having to select the project in the dashboard again is a redundant step.

But, it's only 1 drop-down box. So I can probably talk them into redundancy... but then they're Engineers... they can be stubborn too.
