[OBIEE 10g] Directing A User To A Default Dashboard

OBIEE Directing a user to a default dashboard

One of our customers wanted the OBIEE users after login directed to a default dashboard based on the department they work in. First we created a view containing P_USER, DEPARTMENT and PORTALPATH.

In the variable manager we created an initialization block

 

We connected this to a session variable called PORTALPATH. This is a OBIEE reserved word so will get a warning, just ignore it.

You need to restart the BI-server and the Presentation server!

Let’s try it:

USER1

USER2

USER3
