User POV

User POV enables users to select members in Filters, Pages, Rows, and Columns (Data layout and/or member selection controls) and apply them to multiple Web Analysis documents.

This is exposed through the current POV functionality, where User POV is the name of another POV that is created and utilized in Web Analysis documents. The User POV exist for all database connections and can be set at user level only.

  To set a User POV:

  1. Right click a spreadsheet and select Save Selection as User POV to save the dimension member selections to the User POV.

    This feature is available in Web Analysis Studio and EPM Workspace.

  2. Select Web Analysis User Preferences, then OLAP Server, then select Save Filters only for User POV.

All Subscription controls have the “Save Selection as a User POV” option. A selection is saved as a filter to the User POV.

If a Subscription control points to multiple ReportDataSrcs, all database connections have their User points of view set for the dimensions of the active control.

  To enable a User POV, in Data Layout, select Use User POV

Enabling this item adds a member selection option to the Dim Browser for every dimension in the ReportDataSrc. Selected member(s) in the User POV are utilized in the spreadsheet query.
