Overview of Shared Services Console

Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console consists of a View pane and task tabs. When you initially log in, the Shared Services Console displays the View pane and a Browse tab.

The View pane is a navigation frame where you can choose objects (such as user directories, users, groups, roles, application groups, and applications). Typically, details of your current selection in the View pane are displayed on the Browse tab. Additional task tabs open depending on the task that you perform; for example, a Report tab opens when you generate a report, and a Configure tab opens when you configure a user directory.

Depending on the current configuration, Shared Services Console lists your existing objects in the View pane. You can expand these object listings to view details. For example, you can expand the User Directories object to view a list of all configured user directories. You can also search configured user directories for users and groups.

A shortcut menu, accessible by right-clicking an object, is associated with some objects on the View pane.

Shortcut menus associated with objects in the View pane provide the quickest method to perform operations on the objects. Options in shortcut menus change dynamically, depending on what you select. The commands in the shortcut menu also are available in a menu in the menu bar. Buttons representing enabled menu options are displayed on the toolbar.
