The POV is the default starting point for dimensions in a data source connection. From the POV, you can select members and filters for the dimensions that you want to include in the grid and move members to and from the grid.
Each connection is associated with only one POV. However, the same connection to different worksheets within a workbook may have different POVs.
POVs can be managed as described in The POV Manager.
Note: | Financial Management displays the User Point of View by default. See the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management User's Guide for information. |
Placing Members and Dimensions from the POV onto the Grid
To select dimensions and members from the POV:
Enter the name of a member over its corresponding dimension on the POV.
Click the down arrow next to a dimension on the POV and select one or more members as described in Selecting Members.
From the POV, right-click the down arrow next to the member and drag it to the grid.
To move a member or dimension back to the POV for editing, right-click its cell and drag it to the POV.
Repeat as necessary to place all dimension and members that you want to include on the grid.
To save these POV selections in the worksheet, you must refresh before you save the worksheet.
When you finish working with the POV, you can hide it until you need to display it again. To hide the POV, click POV on the data source ribbon. The POV button toggles to hide and display the POV.
