A numeric variable can be a Planning, Essbase, or Financial Management replacement variable or a Financial Management execution variable.
To enter values for a Planning or Essbase numeric variable:
(Planning users only) In the Value table, select a Smart List.
Select the Smart List check box if you want to use a Smart List as the variable type. (See the Oracle Hyperion Planning Administrator’s Guide for this release.) For example, you can set up an integer Smart List for a reporting cycle that has values 1-5, for Yearly (1), Quarterly (2), Monthly (3), Daily (4), and Hourly (5). A user can select “Monthly” and the number three is stored in the database. This prevents users from having to remember the numbers.
You can also set up a string of text or a date as the value for the Smart List.
Note:
You must select a Planning application that supports the use of Smart Lists to enable this check box.
(Planning users only) In Limits, select a limit for the Smart List.
Note:
If you are using an Essbase substitution variable as the runtime prompt value and the value of that substitution variable is outside of variable limits, launching a rule does not give any error and launches successfully.
(Planning users only) By default, RTP is selected. If you do not want to create a runtime prompt for this variable, clear RTP.
Note:
If you do not select RTP, you must enter a value for the variable.
(Planning users only) If you selected RTP, enter the runtime prompt text you want to display for users.
(Planning users only) Specify whether missing data values are allowed.
