For this post, I will explain how to add disclaimers within the footer of particular pages used by OBIEE presentation services, along with a simple way to add an Auto-Fill functionality to your log-in page. Each step will be listed that was used complete the task, I will also highlight the proper directories which can be used to find the HTML files to make changes to.
