Setting Up the User Point of View

When you design a report, you limit the members on the user point of view for a database connection. The user point of view applies to all grids that use that database connection.

To set up the user point of view:

  1. With a grid selected, select Task, and then Set Up User POV.
  2. In the Setup User POV dialog box:
    • For each dimension, define whether the user point of view will include all members in the dimension, or an individual member.

      The default is to include all members for each dimension. To define an individual member for a dimension, click Lookup Member button, and then select a member from the Select Members dialog box. If you have an individual member selected and wish to return to the setting to include all members, click All Members button.

    • Select Show Dimension Name to show the dimension name in the user point of view.

    • Select Show Member Name to show the member name in the user point of view.

    • Select Show Alias to show alias names in the user point of view. If you select Show Alias, select an option for how to display the alias.

  3. Click OK to save the information for the user point of view.
