Display Image:
We can add an image or image
link on dashboard page by making use of HTML <img> tag.
Syntax for image tag is,
<img src="URL" alt="Some_Text" width="x"
height="y">
Src is the location of
image.
In case of OBIEE we will be
storing image on server folder.
To fetch this image we need
to give path of image location.
In this example I will be
storing image on Custom skin folder created for Custom Skin.
To understand Custom Skin
Folder creation please refer,
Deploying & Developing a Custom Skin Part 1
I have copied my image i.e. ‘welcome.jpg’
at following location in ‘analyticsRes’ custom skin folder,
<instance>/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/analyticsRes/s_TestSkin/b_mozilla_4
Now to fetch this image in
we need to add text view to dashboard page and select ‘Contains HTML markup’.
Then use following code,
<img src=”/analyticsRes/s_TestSkin/b_mozilla_4/welcome.jpg"
alt="WelcomeImg" width="400" height="200">
We can use this path from ‘analyticsRes’
as we have deployed this custom folder in fusion middleware.
This will display image on
your dashboard page.
Similarly to use image as a link we can use following code,
<a href="http://slc02oky.oracle.com:7780/analytics/saw.dll?PortalGo&Action=prompt&path=%2Fshared%2FPrashant%2FTest%2FDashboard""><img src=”/analyticsRes/s_TestSkin/b_mozilla_4/welcome.jpg"
alt="WelcomeImg" width="400" height="200">
Thus every time user clicks
on this image he will get directed to Test Dashboard.
Similarly we can also navigate
to other dashboard objects/pages/analysis/webpages just by changing path as per
requirement.
