Hi folks,
I am going through the fun of creating my first Business Intelligence Dashboard and am encountering some oddities that I'm hoping someone has an idea about.

The gist is that the row of links at the top of the window does not reflect what I've selected in the 'Logo & Links' panel.

BID View Builder
Group Views > (select my custom template)
Edit Look >
Select my custom template at the bottom >
Logo & Links >
Choose "Logoff" and "Tree" as Selected Links (clicking 'Add' to select them). >
Preview >

**I can see my wishes reflected in the Preview at the bottom.**

Save (from left hand navigator) >
"Changes Saved"

Group Views >
Manage Users >
Check/Select myself.
Reassign >
Select my view.
Check 'Replace User Content with View Content' >
Submit >
Done

When opening the Dashboard via the browser, I still see all the links. Even when I deselect all of them using the process above.

What am I doing wrong?

Two guesses:

1) You have to reassign the view to the user from the Manage Users link of BID VB

2) If the user id you're logging in with is an admin, then BID shows all links, not just the ones you selected

Thanks Francis. I've done the 'reassign view' step with no noticeable difference. I am an admin, but didn't have this issue with our previous custom view.

For the meantime, I've turned the links white so they blend in with the background so my immediate issue is resolved (I'd still like to suppress them entirely). I'll keep an eye out for how non-Admins are displayed.

Thanks for the feedback.
