Log into CXO and access the CXO-Designer to build a new "Free Format Report"
From the controls on the right, please select the "Add Control" followed by "Web View"
Please arrange the "Web View" portlet to size as needed
Save and Exit
...
In the report settings, you will now see a section called "Web View". Please expand this selection
Deselect the checkbox that reads "Hide URL Bar"
Since URL is a required field, please use a dummy URL at this point. I added http://google.com but this could be your company URL.
Once a valid URL is added the report preview will allow you to select the button called "Upload a file"
Click on "Upload a File", followed by selecting the "file_name.html" of the html document you created in Step 1
Once the file has been uploaded to the CXO server, it will automatically generate a URL like "Uploads/...."
Upload the different files corresponding to the dimension members in your selection. (E.g: Geographical, Europe, Asia etc..) and copy the generated URL from upload field in a notepad file. (we will need it later)
Adjust the web view control, to dynamically reflect the point of view changes

Add a label control
Create a list and a cube calculation
The list could be on any dimension, as long as there is a possibility to create a cube calculation. (so no split dimensions)
Create a linked or shared cube calculation with the following syntax:
Code Block language xml Format ( Now() ,'MMM dd, yyyy' )
...
Create or download a transparent image
Transparency could be set by various software, I used paint.net and set the transparency level to 75%
Upload the file
