About KPI Contribution Wheels and Dashboards

You can interact with a KPI contribution wheel on a dashboard. If you have edit privileges, you can drag and drop a KPI contribution wheel onto the dashboard page. See "Adding Content to Dashboards" for additional information. The "Dimension Pinnings dialog" is displayed when the KPI contribution wheel is first added to the dashboard page. You can leave the dimensions unpinned or pin them. The "Dimension Pinnings dialog" only shows the dimensions that are not pinned in the definition of the KPI, as set in the "KPI editor: Dimensionality page." See "What Are Dimensions and Pinned Dimension Values?" for additional information.

If you do not have privileges to edit a dashboard, you can temporarily affect the display of a KPI contribution wheel by changing the focus node to explore different dimensions or by selecting different prompt values (when the dimension is not pinned). Your changes are not saved. This is supported in browsers and on mobile devices, such as the iPad.

Note:

If a KPI watchlist, KPI contribution wheel, or scorecard object containing a KPI is added to a dashboard with prompts, and the KPI is not dimensioned by a specific prompt's dimension in the KPI definition, that prompt is ignored. Additionally, if the KPI is pinned to a specific dimension value in its definition, a prompt on that dimension is ignored. Refer to "Adding a Dashboard Prompt to a Dashboard or Dashboard Page" and to the "Dashboard Properties dialog" when adding a KPI watchlist, KPI contribution wheel, or scorecard object containing KPIs to a dashboard that contains prompts.

Refer to "Managing Presentation Services Privileges" in Security Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition for general information.

From a KPI contribution wheel on a dashboard, you can:

Add to Briefing Book
Export to Excel (Note that only an image is exported to Excel.)

Create a Bookmark or Prompted Link
Right-click to open a context menu of options:
- In the standalone editor on the desktop, if you right-click on the background, you can explore a dimension, open the KPI contribution wheel in the stand alone editor, or revert your pinnings and focus node to those previously saved in the diagram. Revert only affects the pinnings and focus node. It does not affect all properties.
- If you right-click on a KPI contribution wheel diagram node, you can contact the business owner of the KPI, invoke an action link, change the focus of the center node, revert your pinnings and focus node to those previously saved in the diagram, or pin and explore a different dimension.
