SmartCuts enable you to integrate EPM Workspace with your intranet and other Web-based applications. This section provides information on the SmartCut commands and a few SmartCut examples.
By embedding SmartCuts in your applications, you enable users to view EPM Workspace content or run jobs from those applications:
Used within EPM Workspace items, SmartCuts enable report surfing, or hyperlinking directly between content of any type. For example, a white paper can link to a glossary document, or a sample code listing can link to a job that runs the code and returns output.
SmartCuts enable more complex output structures, such as drill-down reports, where users can choose down through levels of detail.
SmartCuts enable a user to send live links to documents to other users. When the recipient selects the URL, the SmartCut takes the user directly to the document, the job run form, or the report output. To use a URL this way, write it with the path to the document, form, or job and with any parameters the job requires.
SmartCuts can automatically log users into the Web modules. The optional parameters sso_username, and sso_password are used to pass the login information. For more information about this and other ways users can be automatically logged in, see the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Workspace Administrator’s Guide.
Available SmartCuts include get and run.
