User POV, which specifies members for dimensions not defined on report grids, is available for dynamic reports and books, as specified during design-time. You can change user POV members before running reports and books and then run the reports and books to display new-member data. You can also edit user POVs after running reports and books.
When you view a report or book in HTML, the user POV can be displayed above the report or book table of contents in the Content area.
Each dimension or member is a link. When a link is selected, it displays a Member Selection page from which you can select members for the dimension. The members for a dimension are shown in Tree view, which is a hierarchal view of the members of the dimension. By default, Tree view shows only the top-level member. You can expand a member to see its children. If a user does not have access to parent members, the parent and child hierarchy cannot be rendered in a tree. The use is presented with a large flat list.
Note: | Financial Management dimensions often have more than one top-level node. |
Note: | The tree view is limited to Administrators who have full access. Users who have limited access (are not administrators), are presented a flat list. |
Member-search methods:
Expand data-member rows, and search visually. You can use the Expand all Rows button to expand the rows.
Use the Find text box to search by member or alias and description. Search criteria can include wildcards; for example, * and ?.
To preview user POV settings prior to running a report or book:
Select File, then Preferences, and then Financial Reporting.
