POV

The POV tab specifies the Background and Selectable POV:

A Background POV for the form specifies the initial members for dimensions. Use the Member text boxes to specify the Background POV members. Members specified in the Member text boxes are added to the BackgroundPOV keyword, which is described in BackgroundPOV.
A Selectable POV for the form consists of the dimensions for which users can select members. You use the Selectable text boxes to specify the member lists from which users can select members. Members specified in the Selectable text boxes are added to the SelectablePOVList keyword. For information on the keyword and the syntax used for member lists, see SelectablePOVList.

You can specify a Background or Selectable POV for a dimension in two ways:

Type a member label or the syntax for a member list in the applicable text box.
Click for the applicable text box to select members and member lists with the Member Selector.

These rules apply to using the POV tab:

If Member and Selectable are blank and the dimension is not used in a row or column, the system uses the member from the User POV for the initial value for the dimension.
If you specify values in a Background and Selectable POV for a dimension, and the member for the Background POV is not in the member list for the Selectable POV, the system uses the first member in the member list of the Selectable POV as the Background POV member.
Users need full access to the member hierarchy to be able to work with all the members in the hierarchy. For example, if you want users to access all Custom 4 members, you must enable access to the parent entity, in this case, Custom4Top. For information on defining access, see Managing Metadata.
