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.
