Save Workbook Thumbnail

To help people identify workbook content, Oracle Analytics can display thumbnail images for workbooks on the Home page. The information that’s shown in these thumbnails is blurred to protect sensitive data from being exposed to users that don't have the same access as data authors.

This setting overrides any Save thumbnails value set in the Workbook Properties dialog at the individual workbook level.

Note:

This setting doesn't apply to watchlists because they don't use thumbnails. Instead, watchlists display miniaturized visualizations that reload whenever you refresh the Home page.

  • On — Display blurred workbook thumbnails on the Home page. If this setting enabled (on), workbook owners can hide the thumbnail for individual workbooks if they need to.

  • Off — Don’t display any workbook thumbnails on the Home page. Instead, show the standard icon for all workbooks.

Default: On

Edition: Professional and Enterprise

  • Valid Values: 5 - 480
  • Default: 60

Sign Out Inactive Users Automatically

Specifies whether to automatically sign out users after the inactivity timeout is reached.

  • On — Users are automatically signed out when the inactivity timeout is reached.
  • Off — Users remain signed in even if the inactivity timeout is reached.
  • Default: Off
  • Edition: Professional and Enterprise
Export Data to CSV and Tab-Delimited Files as Text

Specifies if leading apostrophes are added when data is exported to CSV or tab-delimited files, so all fields are treated as text.

  • On — Leading apostrophes are automatically added to CSV and tab-delimited files during exports.

  • Off — Data is exported to CSV files as-is.

    Caution:

    When Off, opening exported CSV files may invoke unwanted formulas.

Note:

This setting applies only to visualizations and analyses. It doesn't apply to pixel-perfect reports.

Allow HTML/JavaScript/CSS Content

Determines whether users can apply and save HTML, JavaScript, and CSS markup in various text fields for analyses and dashboards, and how any previously saved markup is used.

  • Always — Enables users to apply markup. Displays the Contains HTML/JavaScript/CSS Markup option in dialogs where additional formatting might be useful. For example:

    • For analyses: Various dialogs in the analysis editor, Analysis Properties dialog, Column Properties (Column Format) dialog, Edit Column Formula dialog, Narrative dialog, Ticker dialog, Static Text dialog, and New Calculated Measure dialog.
    • For dashboards: Various dialogs in the dashboard editor, Text Properties dialog, and Edit Header and Edit Footer dialogs (under Print and Export Options).

  • Never — Prevents users from applying markup. Hides the Contains HTML/JavaScript/CSS Markup option. Users can only enter plain text. Oracle Analytics ignores any markup that users previously entered and saved for their analyses and dashboards.

  • HTML Only — Enables users to apply HTML markup. Displays the Contains HTML/JavaScript/CSS Markup option in dialogs where additional formatting might be useful but only safe HTML is allowed (no JavaScript or CSS). When an analysis or dashboard opens, Oracle Analytics sanitizes any markup that users have entered and applies only the HTML markup.
  • On Open — Prevents users from applying additional markup (existing markup is retained). Hides the Contains HTML/JavaScript/CSS Markup option so users can enter only plain text. Any previously saved markup for analyses and dashboards continues to be applied.

    Note: The On Open option was previously named "Off".
