For Essbase connections, see Selecting Members From the POV Toolbar in Essbase.
The POV is the default starting point for dimensions in a data source connection. From the POV toolbar, 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 Toolbar onto the Grid
To select dimensions and members from the POV toolbar:
Enter the name of a member over its corresponding dimension on the POV toolbar, and then click Refresh on the POV toolbar.
Click the down arrow next to a dimension on the POV toolbar and select members as described in Selecting Members From the Member Selector.
From the POV toolbar, 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 toolbar for editing, right-click its cell and drag it to the POV toolbar.
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 toolbar, you can hide it until you need to display it again. To hide the POV toolbar, click POV on the data source ribbon. The POV button toggles to hide or display the POV toolbar.
Note: | On the Essbase ribbon, the POV button operates differently. See Selecting Members From the POV Toolbar in Essbase. |
