Select a Member for the Local Point of View

We will continue working with Operating Summary Report (POVs) to see how selecting a different member for the local POV changes the data in the report.

There are two local POVs in the Operating Summary Report. These local POVs affect only the data in the chart - they do not affect the data in the grid.

The report designer can set up a local POV for a specific grid or chart that will override the global POV setting for that dimension. In this report, the local POV for years is 2018. This setting overrides the global Years POV setting of 2016.

Since the local POV for years is locked at 2018, let's select a different member for the local POV for scenarios. To do this:

1. Click the Plan POV above the chart, and then select Actual.

   

   Notice how the data in chart is updated to reflect the change from Plan to Actual, but the data in the grid remains unchanged.

   Unlike how selections in global POVs are retained by user and by data source, selections in local POVs are only visible in the current session while you are viewing the report. Changes to local POVs are not saved in future sessions.

2. Click Close to close Operating Summary Report (POVs).
