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 presentationserver!
Let’s try it:
USER1
USER2
USER3

How will that work when a user changes it's defaul Dashboard from the "My Account" page?
It will work fine, PORTALPATH is dominant over the default setting.
Actaully user settings take precedence over PORTALPATH.If user changes the default settings then PORTALPATH has no impact.
Hey folks, I cannot get the portalpath variable to work..here is the value I have..'/shared/paint+demo/_portal/corporate+finance/'
is there anything wrong? Appreciate your help

Spaces in a portalpath always give trouble... Try a copy and paste form your Explorer.

Hi John,
Is there a way to direct a user to a specific page on a specific dashboard?

Try adding &Page:
%2Fshared%2FSample%20Sales%2F_portal%2F01%20Ranks%20%26%20Toppers&Page=12%20Multi%20Metrics%20TopNs
regards John
It is possible also to specify the page where to go?
Thanks
I've tried the last suggestion but it seems that it doesn't work
An other trick is create a new dashboard page. put a text box on it with:
{meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html"} (relace the the {}

With me, it does not work. It does not understand (': USER'). When I test
select (':USER')
it returns me :USER
and not 'Administrator'
