Re: Need to display watermark on dashboard

[Sergi]

you could use bi publisher for example or change the background color
cell based on a flagged column indicating final or current data.

How about just having a banner at the top which appears only when the numbers are Draft?

Hi,

Data is deemed to be in flux during the month end close period, and than one fine day the client indicates that the data is now final for the month/Qtr.

The requirement is to indicate these two statuses on the Dashboards by somehow color coding or otherwise indicate that the dashboards are in flux or contains report representing final data.

Is there any way to put a watermark on the dashboards? Alternately I am showing a border which is implemented as a conditional section all around the dashboard. The issue with this that I am stuck with using one column, where as the dashboards are columnar in nature.

Any ideas will be helpful.

Since you can assign skins/styles using init blocks, you could create the 'watermark' using css and assign a particular style/skin based on a value in a control table.

Brilliant Kevin. Never saw that one coming.

Yay for Kevin.

You could have a text object containing javascript to set CSS, and place that in a conditional section. This works in 11g:

<script type="text/javascript">
var obj = document.getElementById('DashboardPageContentDiv');
obj.style.background = "url('http://www.nwarwick.co.uk/Office2003/images/AccessReportWatermarks1.gif') white center no-repeat fixed"
</script>

(image may be copyrighted, only tested in firefox). Unfortunately you still see the empty text element - you might be able to use your javascript and CSS to hide that that but it's a bit harder to find where that sits in the DOM.
