Adding View By Functionality To Oracle Business Intelligence (OBI EE) Reports

I just recently returned from the Oracle ALM (Asset Life Cycle Management) / RCM Summit where I participated in three lectures.  One of the discussions I presented was on Oracle's new reporting software, which is really the old Sybel analytics tool, OBI EE.  There was quite a bit of interest and I think Oracle customers are really going to start to realize the strength of this application as it grows in the market space.  In light of the excitment around OBI EE and what I found to be a lack of knowledge or real understanding of the product from the customers out there, I have decided to start a new tutorial section that will focus on the development of OBI EE reports and meta layers. 

The first tutorial that has been added is a quick one on how to add a View By filter to a report in OBI EE.  This will allow you to have a single report that can dynamically change based on the selected value.  So instead of needing 3 reports to view costs by Company, Department and Products, you could have one report with a View By drop down where the use can select which break down they would like to see.

To view the tutorial click on the following link.  I was a bit rushed on this tutorial but I do believe it covers the necessary points.
