Setting the Book Point of View

The Book Point of View (POV) specifies members for dimensions that are not defined on report grids, or in report, Book or Section POVs. If a Book has multiple data sources, any common dimensions across data sources are combined so that a single POV selection can affect the different data sources. For more information, see Working with the Book Designer

To set the Book Point of View:

  1. Open a Book in edit mode of Book Designer.
  2. In the POV bar at the top of the Book Designer, click on a dimension label to open the member selector for that dimension.
  3. In the member selector, select one or more members for the dimension by clicking the check mark next to a member name. You can select individual members, or you can use lists or member selection functions to select multiple members.
  4. To set POV options for a dimension, click Action - actions next to a POV dimension, and then select from the following:

    • Hide Dimension—Hides the dimension in Preview mode. This is available only if multiple selections are not defined for the dimension.

    • Toggle between Allow All Selections and Display Suggestions Only — Allows or restricts Book viewers to selecting only from the members that you specify in the POV. Book viewers are not able to select other members for this dimension.

  5. Continue selecting members and setting POV options for the remaining POV dimensions as needed.
