OBIEE 11.1.1.7 - Freeze columns (top or left) of a dashboard page layout


When working with the dashboard objects, noticed “Break” option is replaced with “Freeze Column” choice in column object.


The "Freeze Column" selection lets scrolling while keeping the context (like prompts, notes etc.) of the dashboard. When a column is frozen, it remains fixed at the edge (top or left) of the page layout and will not scroll off the page as you scroll content in other columns as below.

In OBIEE 11.1.1.6, the "Break" option is to add page and column breaks to the layout of a dashboard page.
