When creating New dashboard in OBIEE 11g, I have faced with issue that dashboard name did not show up in drop down dashboard menu.
1. When you create a new dashboard under 'Shared Dashboard', it displays a warning, that "This dashboard will not appear in the "Dashboards" menu"
2. To make the dashboard appear in the menu, after you create new dashboard under 'Shared Folders', click New > Dashboard again, and select newly created dashboard in step one as the folder, then give a name.
3. Now after you create it second time, it will show up in the list.
Hope that helps
