Data forms are grid displays in which you can enter data into the database from Excel and view and analyze data or related text. Certain dimension member values are fixed, giving you a specific view into the data.
Using Smart View, you can work with Planning, Financial Management, and Hyperion Enterprise data forms in Excel.

You can modify data values but not the form structure in data forms.
Values submitted to the database from Excel must be non-formatted data.
If a data form is currently loaded in Excel and the administrator changes the data form definition on the server side, Oracle recommends that you close the data form and reload it. This action ensures that the newest data form definitions are displayed.
Customizations made to data forms are preserved when you save or refresh only if they are made outside the grid or if they are made to thousands and decimal separators.
