OBIEE making a clear button

Found this piece of javascript in the new 10.3.4.0 version Sales example:
It clears all the user prompts edits and sets them back to their defaults.

{div class="XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn"}{ href="#" onclick="return PersonalizationEditor.removeDefaultSelection(false)"}Clear{/a}{/div}

Till Next Time

How do you access the page to enter the JavaScript shown here? Is that part of the dashboard prompt? Thanks.

You drag in a TEXT section on a dashboard page

Do you know of a way to make that button appear right next to the Go button, in the prompt?

John Minkjan said...

You could add your to the XUIPromptEntry class in the common.css

the code does not work for me, nevertheless, the following code works enven if the button is incorrectly placed :

{td class="XUIPromptEntry"}{span class="minibuttonOn"{}a href="#" onclick="return PersonalizationEditor.removeDefaultSelection(false);"}Clear{/a}{/span}


Thanks for the idea, this was quite painful white contrained cascading prompts

HTML copy paste can sometimes srew up the code. Open your samples sales dashboard in view source mode. Cut the code from there.

@sreekanth,

Maybe you can write your own JS. Please share if you find a solution.

Can this be used to clear calendar prompts that have are defaulted using a Server Variable? Currently, when the button is clicked they are not cleared, they just stay as the server defaults.

@Naga Swapna,

You can't put JavaScript in a CSS file.

Just add a static text box to your page and put the javascript in there.
