How to use the View Selector Editor in OBIEE 12c

1. Highlight the Graph view in Available Views and use the move right arrow to move it into Views Included.

2. Do the same steps to add the Table and Pivot Table to Views Included.

3. Type “Select a View” into the caption text box.

It is a BICG best practice, to normally add a tabular, or pivot table view to each view selector, even if the predominant views are graphs. That’s to allow the user to both find the detailed numbers, as well as move to a more appropriate view in the event that a drill-down, or prompt selection causes the graph to become unreadable, for example, a pie chart with dozens of wedges.
