Prompt Display

Use this field to specify if you want the prompt label to display beside the prompt field or above the prompt field.

Wrap label to fit

Use this field to specify if you want to wrap the prompt labels. Selecting this option moves long prompt labels to multiple rows, if necessary. Note that if the total row length is longer than the user interface, Oracle BI EE adds a horizontal scroll bar to the prompts page.

The default maximum label size is 250 pixels. Note that this value differs if the Administrator modified the default pixel value in the Oracle BI EE configuration file.

Set width of all prompts to

Use this field to specify if and how you want Oracle BI EE to adjust the field width for all prompts on the prompts page. When selected, this field overrides any prompt width settings that you added to individual prompts. The field width is where the prompt values display, and does not include the field's label. If you selected the is between operator, each field ("from" and "to") is sized to the pixel size that you specify.

Select this field to apply the specified width to all prompts on the prompts page. Deselect this field to set each prompt width individually in the "New Prompt dialog".

After you select this field, you can specify the one of the following options:

• Select Dynamic if you want Oracle BI EE to size the field width up to 500 pixels. For most prompt types, a user can mouse-over a truncated member value and Oracle BI EE displays the member's full value.

• Select Pixels and specify a pixel value, if necessary. Oracle BI EE defaults a value of 250 pixels into this field. Note that this value differs if the Administrator modified the default pixel value in the Oracle BI EE configuration file. Enter a pixel value to override the default pixel value. Note that if the member values are longer than the pixel value that you specify, Oracle BI EE truncates the member name. For most prompt types, a user can mouse-over a truncated member value and Oracle BI EE displays the member's full value.

  Note the following items:

  • If you select Pixels and specify a value, Oracle BI EE writes this value to the Choice List Width field on the "New Prompt dialog".

  • If you change this field from Pixels to Dynamic, Oracle BI EE sets the Choice List Width field to Dynamic on the "New Prompt dialog".

  • If you modify an individual prompt width value on the "New Prompt dialog", Oracle BI EE clears the prompts page setting's Set width of all prompts to field.

Show Reset Button

Use this field to include or exclude the Reset button at runtime. If you deselect this box, the Reset button is excluded from the prompt. If you select this box, the Reset button is included and the user can click it to reset or clear the specified prompt values from the analysis or dashboard. The Reset button provides the user with three reset options: Reset to last applied values, Reset to default values, and Clear All. Note that this setting can be overridden in the "Dashboard builder".
