This lets you, for example, save a link as a bookmark or copy and send a link to other users in e-mail. There are two types of links that you can create — bookmark links and prompted links. The following sections describes these links: ■ What Are Bookmark Links? ■ What Are Prompted Links? What Are Bookmark Links? A bookmark link captures the path to a dashboard page and all aspects of the page state, for example: http:localhost10.1.3.2saw.dll?Dashboard_ scid=7ndOC-SjmWoPortalPath=2Fusers2Fadministrator2F_ portalPage=p2PageIdentifier=7fsg0r2sdssvgen4BookmarkState=r78an1mbj0fj4lmqhdjfn dvvai After you create a bookmark link, you can: ■ Save the link as a bookmark so that you can return to the exact same page content at a later time. Building and Using Dashboards 4-19 ■ Copy and send the link to other users who then can view the exact same content that you are viewing, providing they have the same permissions as you and have access to the page. When you create a bookmark link, the state of a dashboard page is saved in the catalog as a hidden bookmark object for the amount of time that your organization specifies. The default is 30 days. See the administrator for the amount of time that your organization specifies. Because the state of a dashboard page is saved when you create a bookmark link, you can continue to modify the content of the page after you create the link. What Are Prompted Links? A prompted link captures the path to a dashboard page and a simplified presentation of the dashboard prompts, for example: ...Action=Navigatecol1=Products.Colorval1=Armory+Clearcol2=Periods.Month op2=gtval2=050119982012:00:0020AM When you create a prompted link, you can manually or programmatically manipulate the link, such as by adding different values for the prompts. What Is the Syntax for a Prompted Link? The prompted link syntax is as follows: Content Path, Action=Navigate, Column1 col1, Operator1 op1, Values1 val1, Column2 col2, Operator2 op2, Values2 val2… When manipulating this syntax: ■ Use plus signs to separate values. ■ Use the same operators as those for the Go URL. For a list of these operators, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Integrators Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition ■ Optionally omit the operator parameter for equal eq. ■ Optionally omit the double quotes if there are no white spaces inside the values.
