The following processing takes place when a user, who is not a Library Only User, logs on to Dashboard.

• First Time Logon to Dashboard (GoToPersonalViewOnLogin=true)

  Users who:

  • Log on from the Business Intelligence Dashboard Login page, log on to their own personal view and inherit the look and content of the General Public view.
  • Log on from a public view, log on to their own personal view and inherit the look and content of the public view from which they logged on.
  • Log on by accessing a group view URL directly, log on to that group view and inherit the look and content of that group view as their own personal view.

  For all methods of logging on to Dashboard for the first time, the inherited view is copied to the user's folder created in the worp_users directory upon logon. Additionally, users who click the Views link have access to all of the group views accessible to them.

• Subsequent Logons to Dashboard (GoToPersonalViewOnLogin=true)

  Users with access to any number of, or no, group views are logged on to their own personal view.

• First Time Logon to Dashboard (GoToPersonalViewOnLogin=false)

  Users with:

  • Access to no group views, log on from the Business Intelligence Dashboard Login page into their own personal view and inherit the look and content of the General Public View.
  • Access to one group view, log on to that group view and inherit the look and content of that group view as their own personal view.
  • Access to multiple group views, log on to a page displaying all of the group views accessible to them including a link to their My View. Clicking a group view from this page logs users on to the selected group view, and their own personal view inherits the look and content of that group view. Clicking the My View link logs users on to their own personal view which inherits the look and content of the General Public View.

    Note: For users with access to multiple group views who log on from a public view, clicking the My View link logs users on to their own personal view which inherits the look and content of that public view.

  For all methods of logging on to Dashboard for the first time, the inherited view is copied to the user's folder created in the worp_users directory upon logon.

• Subsequent Logons to Dashboard (GoToPersonalViewOnLogin=false)

  Users with:

  • No group views, log on to their own personal view.
  • One group view, log on to that group view.
  • Multiple group views, log on to a page displaying all of the group views accessible to them.

The following scenario shows the processing that takes place when a Library Only User logs on to Dashboard. The behavior is the same for all logon attempts including the first logon, subsequent logons, and whether the GoToPersonalViewOnLogin setting in the bid-config.xml file is set to "true" or "false".

Users with:

• No Library Only Views, are presented with the message, "No Library Only Group Views available for this user."
• One Library Only View, log on to this view.
• Multiple Library Only Views, log on to a page displaying all of the views accessible to them.

For all of the above methods of logging on to Dashboard for Library Only Users, a user's folder is not created in the worp_users directory.
