You can use Oracle Smart View for Office to interact with web browser applications, such as Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud or Oracle Hyperion Planning, in two ways:
Starting in a form or ad hoc grid in Smart View, use drill-through to launch an application web page in a browser
Starting in a web application, launch a form or ad hoc grid in Smart View for Excel.
If your default browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer, drill-through and web launch are fully supported and require no additional add-on.
If your default browser is Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, you'll require a Smart View add-on for drill-through and web launch.
