Dynamic AI Support Forum

Has anyone added a DynAI dashboard to a Sharepoint one?

As I get more competent with DynAI I'm delivering stuff by daily scheduled email that should really be visible to my users when they first log into windows. We are giving the relevant users Sharepoint dashboards and it would be nice to have their sales this week (for instance) pop up. Issue as I see it is that I'd have to include a frame on their Sharepoint page with the <server>/ai6 connection and pass their username and password.

So, who's already done this?

Hi Dave,

I guess no one else has seen your post and/or has used Sharepoint.

I have not used sharepoint but I expect it would allow you to embed a URL link on the page -- in which case you could make the link the URL to run any given report you like. The "report documentation" from the tools menu provides the URL and form post method under the "Integration" section. The documentation provides additional explanation of the parameters available for use in a URL.

Hi Dave,

I have actually used Dynamic AI with Sharepoint, but it was at least 4 years ago on an old version of Sharepoint. Back then there was an html module where you could just enter for instance an Iframe - you could also pass parameters from Sharepoint to Dynamic AI.

If it gives you trouble, let us know.

Good luck and have fun!

Whoa - will you look at this: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=124

It may be too dated for your use now - but there may be some tips too.

Best regards

Bo,

When I click on the link in your post I get a message that I am not authorized to access that forum.
???

I just tried again and it works fine!

Bob

Thanks guys, I'll try this tomorrow

That seems to work, even with Sharepoint 2010 (though a few intermediate words have changed) so thanks very much.

OK, getting a bit more ambitious now

I've got a couple of sharepoint pages up for managers, with links to DynAI reports &/or graphs. Very nice, and well received.
Now we are going to try it in a 'push' mode, giving 'at a glance' info to a couple of others. For that I want to embed a web part. That all works well too, but 50% of the web part is taken up by the DynAI headers and footers. They don't seem to be suppressible via options or the standard stylesheets, so how can I remove or otherwise clean them up?

When you say header, I think you are including the navigation pane, that takes up a fair amount of space so to suppress that you can add the following line to the last line of a custom style sheet you then assign to the report:
#slctorframe { display: none;}
And if you are using a URL, as of build 50:
New AI.ASP options for report integration:
&HIDEOPTIONS=Y will hide the filter part of the reports
&HIDETOOLS=Y will hide the top name/link and tools menu
Example: "http://localhost/ai6/ai.asp?UID=Administrator&PW=nextgen&DAI_R=2306&SFRAME=Y&HIDEOPTIONS=Y&HIDETOOLS=Y"

Regards,
Bob
