Setting Point of View Bar Options
The point of view (POV) is a set of dimension members you define that determines the data accessed for an application. You select dimension members from the Point of View bar to display data in the rows and columns of data grids, data forms, journals, the Process Control task, and the Manage Ownership task.
Oracle Hyperion Financial Management provides initial point of view settings. When you change dimension selections, the point of view is updated with your changes. The most recent member selected in the POV for each dimension is stored by user, and is used as the default value for that user. This is called the user point of view, which is available throughout the application session. When you exit the application, the point of view is saved and can be used the next time that you open the application.
You set options for displaying dimensions in the POV bar. You can show dimension long names (such as Scenario or Year), show dimension short names (such as S for Scenario or Y for Year), or select not to display dimension names. You can show labels, descriptions, and icons, and wrap the POV.
When you select these POV bar options in one module, they are saved and applied to other modules. For example, if you select to show dimension long names in data grids, the POV displays dimension long names when you open a journal. If you close and reopen the application, the settings persist.
You can show, hide, or reorder dimensions. Show Hidden Dimensions, Show/Hide Dimensions, POV Details, and Reorder Dimensions settings are not automatically applied to other modules.
