Passing the Point of View to the Target Report

When you define a URL link, you have the option of passing the point of view (POV) of the source report to the target.

If you select to pass the POV through, the following conditions apply:

  • The POV context will be passed to the Global POV of the target report for dimensions that exist in the target report data source.

    • POV context in the source report includes POV and cell member selections

    • The Local POV of the target report is not updated upon drill to content

  • If the source and target report data sources are different, only the POV dimensions (and selected members) that exist in the source will be passed to the target report.

    • If the dimension from the source report is not found on the Global POV of the target report, the passed POV selection will not be used

    • If the source report dimension exists, but the passed POV member doesn’t exist, then the user will receive an invalid member validation and won’t be able to view the report results

  • POV context that is passed will be applied to the target report POV, regardless if the POV member selection is valid as defined in the target report definition. For example, if the source report POV context has "Currency" = USD, it will be used as POV selection in the target report, even if USD is not a valid selection for POV Dimension Currency in the target report’s definition.
