This time i have got a real nice thing with me ‘Hovering text in OBIEE columns‘.
This requires HTML or Javascript coding in OBIEE column headers which is not permitted by default OBIEE config. So, to enable it, we need to insert the following tag in instanceconfig.xml file.
<HardenXSS>false</HardenXSS>
Before modifying the instanceconfig.xml take the backup of the file and stop the OBIEE Presentation services. Modify the instanceconfig.xml file and place the above tag anywhere between the server tags.
Now,start the Presentation Services again. Login to Answers and embed the below mentioned code in the header of the column where you want the text to hover when you display the report.
<b title=”Text to Hover”>column_name</b>
After doing this save the report and roll over your mouse to the column header where you have placed the code, you can see the ‘text to hover’ over the column header.
This can act good with some stern customers with such requirements.
