Adding Cell Text
You can add a text description for any valid cell in a data grid. For example, you might want to add a description for a cell’s currency information, such as Entity Currency or Parent Currency. You can also edit existing cell text.
You can enter any characters for cell text values and you can use spaces. However, you cannot include the pipe (|) or tilde (~) character if you used it as a delimiter for the cell text value in the load format.
You can set a size limit for cell text in an application using the MaxCellTextSize Application Settings metadata attribute. The default setting is a maximum of 8,000 bytes.
At times, you may need multiple cell text entries to store different types of information for a Point of View intersection. You can create multiple cell text entries and define cell text labels to easily identify types of information when you view cell text. Before you can enter multiple cell text entries, the administrator must define cell text labels. See the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management Administrator's Guide.
For every application, there is a system-generated member for Cell Text Label named [Default]. If you want to enter only one cell text entry for a data cell, you can select the [Default] member to enter the cell text information. A cell can have either one entry using the [Default] cell text label, multiple cell text label entries, or a combination of cell text labels and [Default] entries.
After you add cell text, a blue triangle is displayed to indicate that there is text associated with the cell.
