OBIEE Custom CSS Style / Class

For a long time I wondered how this part of the columnsettings works:

If you look in the OBIEE documentation you will find very little:

What they meant to say is something like this:

In the first part "Use Custom CSS Style" you can directly add CSS code like "white-space:nowrap;". For more info on CSS see http://www.w3schools.com/Css/default.asp.

The second part is more intressting. In your s_[StyleName]\b_mozilla_4 you will find a file called "custom.css". In this file you can add your own css classes:

.MyCell { background-color: #00ff00; font-style:italic; font-weight: bold;}

See that you synchronise the file with the one in: ..\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res\s_[StyleName]\b_mozilla_4

In the colomn properties point to your Custom Class:


Note1: Somehow the font-size of the cell is dominant over the one in the personal class....
Note2: Disable your browser cache when developing with this....(some changes might take a while to be visible.)
Note3: Altough the option is availble in the conditional format screen it doesn't seem to work there....

Till Next Time

@Santhi,

CSS is "cascading", which means that an entry on a lower level overules a level on a higher, use the IEdeveloper toolbar or the Firefox Firebug to indentify the cell.

Hi, I have used this code in view.css

background-color:red;
Horizontal-align:right;


If I give this .class filename in for pivot table,
for section items horizontal-align is working, but pageitems it is not.


I think for page items alignments may not work

thanks
