Display Dashboards in DropDown Menu

The  OBI Presentation services in default  displays dashboards as links when there are less than or equal to 15 dashboard names.





Observe the above image, there are 15 dashboards and displaying as separate links.

When more than 15 dashboard names are available for display, the default behavior of Oracle
Dashboards is to create a drop-down list of the dashboards from which users can choose.Now if we create one more dashboard, then a drop-down list will be created.



By modifying the instanceconfig.xml file, you can change the number of dashboard names to display
as links before the presentation is changed to a drop-down list.

Add/Modify the following entry in the instanceconfig.xml file. The minimum value is 1.
<DashboardMaxBeforeMenu>1</DashboardMaxBeforeMenu>

The above line makes the presentation server to create a dropdown list when there are more than one dashboard.
