Adding Logo's to the Title of the OBIEE reports.

What if you would like to set some standard logo for that report?

Yes, there is an option in OBIEE where we can set the logo for an individual report. It is possible to add images into title of the view. This can make title views look more graphically appealing and can also help the user to understand what the title view is conveying.

You can find all the images that comes with the OBIEE installation at the following path,

C:\Middleware\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\bi_server1\tmp\_WL_user\analytics_11.1.1\7dezjl\war\res\s_blafp\images
  • Create any sample report.
  • Go to the results tab & edit the Title view of the report..
  • Set the title for the report. (By default, this title is same as report name). 
  • Set other fields in you are interested in further formatting.
  • In the logo, you give the path for that logo/image. It can be,
    • Relative path - The logo will accessible only on the localhost.
    • URL - A complete URL to that image.
  • Relative path - 
Note: When running in a secured environment, only resources that are located on the Oracle BI Presentation Server may be used. These resources are referenced using a relative path prefixed with "fmap:".

  • URL - 

  • For further exploration, lets fill the Subtitle & Help URL fields. 
  • Set Started Time to "Display Date and Time". This will print the latest date and time when this report is executed against the database.

You can see the question mark (?) button in the title of the report, where you can give a link to any other BI content, website, etc.

Happy blogging.
