Updating Tasks from Smart View

You can work with your Close Manager tasks from Oracle Smart View for Office. To work on Tasks in Microsoft Office Excel the same way you can from Oracle Hyperion Financial Close Management you first install Smart View.

During the Close Manager setup in System Settings, an administrator can select the columns to be displayed in Smart View, for example, the task attributes.

After you install the extension and create a connection, you can view a list of schedules and tasks. The system displays a list of schedules to which you have access. If multiple schedules are selected, a header row displays with tasks for that schedule.

When you click a schedule from the list, system displays a list of the tasks that you are currently working on. After a task has been submitted or approved, it is no longer displayed on the list.

The available Actions depend on your user role:

• Assignee: Submit Task
• Approver: Approve and Reject Task
• Assignee or Approver: Reassign Task

If you submit a task that is incomplete, for example, you need to answer questions first, a validation error displays when you submit the task. You can double-click on the task or row to open the task and finish completing it.

For information on working with Smart View, see Oracle Smart View for Office User's Guide.
