Installing from the BI Home Page

To install Oracle Smart View for Office from Oracle Business Intelligence Home:

1. In the BI Home page, click the arrow next to Download BI Desktop Tools, and then select Smart View for MS Office.

   If you are directed to the Smart View download page on Oracle Technology Resources, then follow the procedure in Installing from My Oracle Support or Oracle Technical Resources. Otherwise, proceed with step 2.

2. Choose an option:

   • Click Run to run the installer directly.

     If the User Account Control dialog box is displayed, click Yes, and then continue to step 3.

   • Click Save to save the Smart View installer file to a directory to which you have access and from which you can run executable files.

     Open the folder where you saved the Smart View executable and double-click it to run it. Then continue to step 3.

3. Select the language to use for the installation wizard.
4. Click Next.
5. Follow the prompts in the wizard.
6. When installation is complete, click Finish.

   The Smart View ribbon is displayed the next time you open Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, or Word.

   Note:

   Starting with Smart View 11.1.2.5.510, the Oracle BI EE per-user extension installer is included with the Smart View client installation.

   The extension is installed the first time you start Office if the Oracle BI EE extension is not already installed and it is not disabled.
