Select POVs

After you have defined the members for a report, next step is to set up the POVs. In our sample report, we are going to select members for the HSP_View, Year, Version, Entity, and Product POVs. We are also going to select an option that will enable us to print all the selections for the Entity POV. and we are going to hide the dimensions for the HSP_View Version, and Product POVs.

Note:

The following steps show you how to add POVs to the sample report in this Learning Path. Review Learning About the Point of View for more information on POVs.

To set up the POVs for our sample report:

1. Select the HSP_View POV, expand HSP_View, and select BaseData.

   
   
   

2. Select the Year POV, expand Year, and select FY14 and FY15.

   
   
   

3. Select the Version POV, expand Version, and select Working.

   
   
   

4. Select the Product POV, expand Product, and select TotalProduct.

   
   
   

5. For the Entity POV, we are going to make multiple selections. To do this:

   1. Select the Entity POV, and expand Entity and Total Entity.
   2. Select Total Department, then expand it, and then select Resources, Other Corporate, Sales, Manufacturing, Other Departments, Finance and Acc, and HR and Administration.
      
      

   3. You can render each member of a dimension with multiple members on a separate page when printing to PDF. To do this for the members we selected for Total Department, click POV Dimension Actions next to the Entity POV, and select Print All Selections.
      
      

6. Click POV Dimension Actions next to the Product POV, and select Hide Dimension. (This hides the dimension in Preview mode.)

   
   
   

7. Hide the dimensions for the Version and HSP_View POVs.

   Note that when you hide a dimension, it is displayed in a lighter font in the POV area at the top of the grid.
