All the fields presented in the PeopleSoft Classic Comprehensive Customer View are system-defined. To copy a system-defined configuration to create a user-defined configuration, access the Configurable Analysis component (Set Up Financials/Supply Chain > Common Definitions > Configurable Analysis). Here you can define a new analysis configuration and define the various entities, factors, pagelets, and related actions for the view.

You can also view and edit the default dashboard by accessing the Analysis Display page (Set Up Financials/Supply Chain > Common Definitions > Configurable Analysis > Analysis Display).

User authentication is required to access pivot grids in the PeopleSoft Classic Comprehensive Customer view, and BU security is part of the authentication. However, the BU security must be manually configured by the user. The Advanced Query Security option must be set on the record property. To do this, the user must update the appropriate record name via the Application Designer to enforce the BU security.
