Opening Forms and Ad Hoc Grids from Web Applications (Web Launch)

From your web application, you can open forms and ad hoc grids in Oracle Smart View for Office. This action is also referred to as web launch.

Cloud data source types: Planning, Planning Modules, Financial Consolidation and Close, Tax Reporting

On-premises data source types: Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Oracle Hyperion Planning

Note:

Web launch is supported on Microsoft Internet Explorer with no additional browser add-on required.

Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge require a browser-specific add-on for web launch. If your default browser is Firefox, Chrome, or Edge, follow the instructions on installing the add-on for these browsers in the Oracle Smart View for Office Installation and Configuration Guide , Installing Browser Add-ons.

To use web launch to open a form or ad hoc grid in Smart View:
  1. In a supported Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud or Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System web application, open a form or ad hoc grid.
  2. From the form or ad hoc grid in the web application, perform an action:

    • EPM Cloud: Select Actions, then Open in Smart View.

    • EPM System: Select Actions, then Smart View.

If Excel is already open, the form or ad hoc grid is launched on a new sheet in the existing opened workbook along with the proper ribbon. For example, if you chose to open a Planning form in Smart View, then the Planning ribbon is displayed.

If not already open, Excel is launched and the form or ad hoc grid appears in Smart View along with the proper ribbon.

Note:

Firefox and Chrome: Starting in release 11.1.2.5.720, rather than opening the file directly in Smart View, you are prompted as follows:

  • Firefox: Select Open or Save File. Optionally, select Do this automatically for files like this from now on to save your choice to avoid making the selection on each web launch

  • Chrome: Select Open or Show in folder. Optionally, select Always open files of this type to open Smart View files automatically.
