The Web Intelligence Static Report Viewer Component

The Web Intelligence Static Report Viewer component enables the user to view a selected BO report. You can create your own BO reports and display them in the Dashboard using the Web Intelligence Static Report Component Viewer component.

Tip When you want to include a Web Intelligence Report Viewer or Web Intelligence Static Report Viewer component in a Dashboard page, it is recommended to include only one report on each page.

Note You cannot wire a Web Intelligence Static Report Viewer component with a Page Filter component in a Dashboard page.

ClosedTo access:

You can view the report in the relevant page in the Dashboard.

To configure the component, where possible, click the Configure Component button in the component to display the component filter, or click here in Click Here to configure in the center of the component.

ClosedAbout BO reports

A Web Intelligence Static Report Component Viewer component displays only one BO report.If you want to display more than one BO report in the Dashboard, you can create multiple Web Intelligence Static Report Component Viewer components and rename each component.

You can create your own BO reports using BO and display them in the Web Intelligence Reports Static Viewer component. For details, see BO documentation.

Note  To view a list of the available Xcelsius reports, you must copy the reports .swf files to the following location:
<HP-BA>\glassfish\glassfish\domains\BTOA\xcelsius directory.

The component analyzes the original BO report and returns tables and graphs. The tables become tables in html format, the graphs become images in the Web Intelligence Static Report Component Viewer component. The structure of the original BO report may also be changed as tables are moved to the beginning of the Web Intelligence Static Report Component Viewer component display and graphs are moved to the end of the component display.

ClosedImpact of the size of Web Intelligence reports

The size of Web Intelligence reports can impact how the reports are displayed in the Dashboard page. The sizes are 374 pixels (width) x 199 pixels (height), 583 pixels (width) x 204 pixels (height), or 374 pixels (width) x 324 pixels (height). The description of each Web Intelligence report includes its size.
