Financial Management has hierarchy in their dimensions. Oracle BI EE shows the HFM hierarchy in the dashboards using a concept called hierarchical columns. Expanding and collapsing in a hierarchical column affects only that view within the reports.
For example, a Net Income Accounts hierarchy can be defined as a Pretax Income From Operations and Other Exp (Inc) accounts rolling up to a Total Pretax Income accounts. Total Pre-tax Income accounts in turn roll up to Net Income.
