BackgroundPOV

Use this keyword to specify the background dimension members for the form. Dimensions not specified in the Background POV are considered dynamic and are taken from the user’s point of view when the form is opened.

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.

Note:

If a member in the Background POV is not valid based on the SelectablePOVList for the dimension, the system defaults to the first member of the list.

Syntax

BackgroundPOV=S#Scenario.W#View.E#Parent.Entity.V#Value.A#Account.I#ICP.
C1#Custom1.C2#Custom2.C3#Custom3.C4#Custom4
