Guided analysis and reporting enables you to select a point of view (POV) from one Hyperion product and seamlessly pass it to another Hyperion product. Guided analysis and reporting focuses the second product on the POV of the first product and eliminates the need for you to launch the second product and drill down to the preferred POV.
For example, if you are navigating through a bar chart in Web Analysis and require information from a relational data source, you select a bar on the chart (as the POV) and select the Related Content option. EPM Workspace launches the relevant Interactive Reporting document file and displays a relational chart that is based on the POV sent from Web Analysis.
Note: | Depending upon the type of link established at design time, you may be prompted to navigate to the preferred Interactive Reporting document file. |
In the background, in Oracle Hyperion Web Analysis, a direct or embedded link is defined, and the Interactive Reporting document file to which to send the POV is selected. When an Interactive Reporting document file is selected, a SmartCut (a link—URL—to an item in the Hyperion Foundation repository) is created, and the EPM Workspace client is invoked. The Smartcut includes the parameters that define the POV.
