What Are Inline Conditions?

An inline condition is a condition that you define at the point of use and do not save by name in the catalog. Instead it is saved as part of the dashboard page or agent.

An inline condition is automatically deleted when the dashboard page or agent that contains it is deleted. This simplifies catalog management for conditions that make sense only within particular Oracle BI content.

You can create an inline condition when you:

• Create or edit an agent and specify (in the "Agent editor: Condition tab") that the agent is to deliver its content and run associated actions conditionally. See "Using Conditions to Determine Whether Agents Deliver Their Content or Execute Their Actions".

  For information on creating agents, see "Creating Agents".

• Add an action link to a dashboard page and specify that the action link is to be displayed conditionally. See "Using Conditions to Determine Whether Action Links Are Displayed in Dashboard Pages".

  For information about adding action links to dashboard pages, see "About Adding Actions to Dashboard Pages".

• Add a section to a dashboard page and specify that the section is to be displayed conditionally. See "Using Conditions to Determine Whether Sections Are Displayed in Dashboard Pages".

  For information about adding sections to dashboard pages, see "Adding Content to Dashboards".
