Viewing Snapshots

Snapshots are similar to reports, except that they contain data for a specific point in time and thus do not retrieve data dynamically. Therefore, data-level security from the data source is not respected.

You can view snapshots in HTML or PDF. However, the print server and a PDF writer must be available to display both HTML and PDF links. If the print server is not available, snapshots are available only as HTML links.

  To view a snapshot:

  1. From EPM Workspace repository, select Explore, then View, then Display Items of Type, then Hyperion, and then Financial Reporting Snapshot Book or Financial Reporting Snapshot Report

  2. Right-click the snapshot report, select Open In, and then HTML Preview or PDF Preview.
