The POV Manager

Data source types: Oracle Essbase, Oracle Hyperion Planning, Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud, Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud, Oracle Enterprise Performance Reporting Cloud

The POV (Point of View) is the starting point for forms, ad hoc grids, and functions. Using the POV Manager in Oracle Smart View for Office, you can change the default POV for forms and ad hoc grids (Essbase, Planning, Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud), and the background POV for functions (all data sources).

Using the POV Manager, you can perform the following operations:

  • Select members for the default POV and edit the default POV (not applicable to Financial Management)

  • Select members for the background POV for functions

  • Save a POV to a workbook

  • Copy a POV and paste it to a different worksheet or workbook

  • Edit a POV

  • Delete a POV (not applicable to Financial Management)

Note:

For Financial Management, the last refreshed POV (either in the Financial Management web interface or in Smart View) becomes the default POV and is used by Smart View when accessing a form or ad hoc grid.

Additionally, for Financial Management, the POV Manager can only be used to set the background POV for functions.
