Free Text section in Web App Designer

Former Member

I'm creating a dashboard through Web Application Designer which contain queries and charts to be used to show monthly financial results. The user would like to include a 'comment' section where they can show the explanations of the results (such as why Actual Revenue is lower than Plan, etc). This comment section needs to handle free-form text so that user can enter any length of information. Furthermore, this comment section has to be dynamic based on what month the Dashboard is executed for. So, if they executed it for Jan 2007, the comment section should show the explanation for Jan data. If, they execute it for Dec 2006, the comment should show the explanation for Dec data.

If any of you can give us pointers or guidance on this, it would be much appreciated and points will be rewarded.

regards,

Lanny

Hi Lanny,

Have you considered the Goto > Document functionality that is available with the BW reports?

Yes, that is one option we had given the user. But this dashboard/reports is created for high-level management and we don't want them to have to do a 'drill-down' or 'go-to', so ideally, they would like to be able to see the comments together with the report (either next to it or below it).

thanks,

Lanny

Hi Lanny,

There are the web items for documents as well, but may be they will also not provide the flexibility you are looking for. May need some custom solution for this one...
