Displaying dashboards in dropdown menu......

OBI typically displays the names of the individual dashboards across the top of the screen. Unless we create more than 15 dashboards, it would not show it in a drop-down menu. That is the default dashboards required before they turn out to a menu.
We had a requirement where we wanted to group the dashboards that were built based out of same subject areas and show a drop down menu as follows:

We have to do 2 steps to acheive this.

1. We have to add the DashboardMaxBeforeMenu parameter in Instanceconfig.xml file available in the following path Installed Drive:\OracleBIData\web\config
<DashboardMaxBeforeMenu>2</DashboardMaxBeforeMenu>

So if you have more than 2 dashboards then all the dashboards which comes from the same shared folder will be displayed as menu. And this entry takes effect for all the shared folders.


2.  We need to create the Dashboards by using the same shared folder.
