About the User Point of View

Every data value in a report is derived from the intersection of a member from each dimension in an Oracle Hyperion Planning database connection. In Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting Web Studio, you can place these dimensions on the report grid or in the user point of view. When you view the report, you can change the member selected for dimensions on the user point of view. This allows you to customize a report to fit your needs. You can also use the user point of view in books.

In a report, the member specified for a dimension in the user point of view is used for all grids with that dimension. For example, if you select the "budget" member for the "scenario" dimension, all grids in the report with "scenario" in the user point of view use "budget " when you retrieve data. The user point of view is not displayed if all of the dimensions are placed on the grid.

The following dimensions are displayed on the user point of view bar:

Dimensions not currently defined in a row, column, or page
Dimensions in a row, column, or page that are flagged for the current point of view
Dimensions without a member selected on a grid point of view
Attribute dimensions dragged to the point of view area in the Dimension Layout dialog box
