Attachments

Documents can be attached to individual data cells by way of URLs or files.

Cloud data source types: Planning

On-premises data source types: Oracle Hyperion Planning

Each data cell can contain multiple documents attached by one or more users. Depending on the permission level assigned to you by the administrator, you may be able to do any of the following in a data cell:

  • Attach documents.

  • View the documents that you and other users have attached.

  • Edit and delete documents that you have attached. You cannot edit or delete documents attached by other users.

  • Attach URLs.

Cells that contain attachments can be associated with a cell style. See Cell Styles.

Note:

If you are migrating from an on-premises environment to cloud, and your forms have Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace URL attachments that reference documents uploaded in the EPM Workspace, you cannot access these documents in Oracle Smart View for Office. Instead, you can attach the documents directly to the form.

    • To attach a URL to one cell in the range, select the cell from the drop-down menu, select Attach, then URL, and then enter the Description and Reference.

    • To attach one URL to all selected cells in the range, select Apply to all selected cells.
