One of my colleague was designing the dashboard which has multiple reports and these reports data will be displayed based on data level security. He doesn’t want to display any content from no results view even “Refresh” button.
He was able to remove all the content from No Results view but could not remove the refresh button. He then asked me to help him on this.
I am fascinated in UI design using Java, Javascript, CSS. Coming to the point, here we go to hide Refresh button.
There are two ways you can hide this, one is hide globally using below steps.
Navigate to <ORACLE_BI_HOME>Oracle_BI1bifoundationwebmsgdbl_enmessages
Take copy of viewmessages.xml to viewmessages.xml_backup
Edit the viewmessages.xml
Find “Refresh” : <WebMessage name="kmsgEVCLinkRefresh"><HTML>Refresh</HTML></WebMessage>
Remove the HTML section, so it'll be: <WebMessage name="kmsgEVCLinkRefresh"></WebMessage>
Restart the presentation services
But my friend is not interested to hide globally, want to do on particular dashboard only, I gave him to use below Javascript.
This works like this, you have find the Result button html tag, and then hide it.
<script type="text/javascript"><!--function hideRefresh(){var cols = document.getElementsByTagName('td');for (i=0; i<cols.length; i++) {if (cols[i].className == 'ResultLinksCell' && cols[i].innerHTML.indexOf('Refresh')!=-1)cols[i].innerHTML = '';}}window.onload= hideRefresh;//--></script>
Put this script in Report Analysis Properties like below. Now save your report and verify in dashboards.
