Collapsing the Navigation Map on Open

[system]

When we open a WebI report, the Navigation Map open by default taking up about 1/3 of the screen size. Is there any way to have this pane be collapsed by default? We have tried editting the report, collapsing the Navigation Map window on the left, and then saving the report. The next time it opens (using Infoview -> View option), the Navigation Map is still expanded.

We are using XI R2 SP1, MHF1 on a Windows Platform.

Any ideas appreciated.

it seems that running a script you can copy user’s configurations from one to another, writing directly in the cms

Hi, We would like to change certain preferences available through the Infoview Preferences button for ALL users (we have 1000+). For instance, we would like to all users to have WebIntelligence format of Interactive by default and to have show 20 documents per page. Is there a way to do this without opening each and every user account and setting individual preferences? In 6.5, we set up profiles in Supervisor to accomplish the same thing. Thanks. amer0521 (BOB member since 2005-02-25)

I’m pulling my hair out with this one, and theres precious little of it left. How can I change the default WebI report viewer to interactive? Thanks Ross RossGoodman (BOB member since 2004-03-23)

The description below Applies to the Navigation Map which you get when you view a WebI report, and not the Folder/Category Navigation Panel

I have been trying hard to get rid of this issue and i thought i did (by using Option 1 below), but then when creating new users they defaulted to the open Navigation map. So had to use option 2 also along with option 1. Check these out and let me know if this works out correctly . It works for me on XIr2 Sp1

Option 1)
This option prevents a navigation panel to flip back to open by default once a user has close it. Due to some silly reason , BusinessObjects decided to remember the last state of the Navigation map for each user . Why ??? It should default to Closed.
What this Option does is it does not let the default way of opening the panel to be remembered . It always stores the default as 0 (Closed)

[code] Open the Viewer.js file on the server … e.g
\InstallPath\WebSphere\AppServer\installedApps<ServerName>\desktop_war.ear\desktop.war\viewers\cdz_adv\language\en\scripts\viewer.js
Replace this line
recordProp(isRight?“CDZ_VIEW_rightPane”:“CDZ_VIEW_leftPane”,“1”)
with
recordProp(isRight?“CDZ_VIEW_rightPane”:“CDZ_VIEW_leftPane”,“0”)
Save the file as the same name

If you see an open Navigation map , close it now and it would never get reset to default to open again… i.e it will lose its memory

Option2 This is not enough because still any new user set up in BOXI defaults to the Navigation map in an Open state. To change it to be closed by default , i customized a piece of SDK code that transfers user settings from one user to all users. So you run that code by logging in as admin (having navigation pane closed) and it transfers those settings to each user in your environment.

Save this file attatched under the desktop.war\jsp\ folder as NavReset.jsp Log in as administrator to infoview Paste the server address of the NavReset.jsp to run the JSP script
Now you have the issue solved … Phew … The Ticket i launched with BO Tech support has not been answered yet , but i hope its simpler than this.

Java InfoView path for us with BO XI R2 SP3 is:

D:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat\webapps\businessobjects\enterprise115\desktoplaunch\viewers\cdz_adv\language\en\scripts\viewer.js

Thanks to Shobhit_Acharya for the fix, just what we needed

Hi All
I have modified the viewer.js file @Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Web Content\Enterprise115\InfoView\Webi\viewer\language\en\scripts. we have IIS as our application servers. How can we configure the files to hide the left pane.

Hi All

I want to achieve similar functionality as above, but I want it on ‘Category Navigation Panel’.
What I need is: my category tree to be opened two levels down automatically whenever a user logs on.
All my users by default get ‘Category’ view.
I have a category tree like Corporate Category-> category level1->category level2->…
At present all the users need to expand up to category level2 manually before they see their own categories and reports every time.

Is there anyway automatically open up to category level2.

Any ideas.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi Shobit,

Can you please let me know if you hvae a solutiion for the R3.1 version too. I tried looking it up on the newer version, but since the path’s are different, I could not really locate the folder/path.

If you have already done it, can you please let me know.

Did you find a solution in 3.1… I can find the viewer.js and change the setting from “1” to “0”. It doesn’t seem to have any effect.

thanks
