Accessing the View to Edit

Note:

This procedure applies to views that were created in View Designer.

To access views to edit:

1. Access a view in one of following ways:

   • During the design session—For example, after you created the view in View Designer and clicked OK to insert the view, select the view in the Office document and click the View Designer icon to relaunch the View Designer for editing.

   • From a view in a saved Office document—Select the view in the Office document and click the View Designer icon to relaunch the View Designer for editing.

   • From a published view in the Presentation Catalog—Use the Load view in View Designer command to load the view from the catalog tree into the View Designer in Oracle Smart View for Office. When you select a view, the Load view in View Designer command is available in the Action Panel or from the right-click menu.

     Remember, to select a view to edit from the catalog tree, do not try to insert it first into the Office document. Be sure to use the Load view in View Designer command when you want to edit.

2. Continue with the processes described in Determining Where a View was Created to determine if you should edit the view in View Designer.

Note:

Do not use View Designer in Smart View to edit views that were created in Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition. Views may not load in cases where the View Designer does not support the formatting and design features that were used to create the view in Oracle BI EE. For this reason, use the View Designer to edit only those views that were created and inserted using the View Designer in Smart View.
