Inserting Charts
Starting in release 11.1.2.5.700, you can insert forms as charts into Microsoft PowerPoint, giving you a graphical display of the information in the form.
Data source types: Planning, Planning Modules, Financial Consolidation and Close, Tax Reporting
Oracle Smart View for Office renders the form information as a chart in PowerPoint. You can use the chart tools in PowerPoint to change the chart design and format. You can insert a Smart View POV reporting object to change the POV of the chart.
Certain forms may or may not make ideal charts. Some form data may not present itself well in chart format. For example, a balance sheet form may not make a useful chart. However, a monthly revenue form may be a good candidate for the chart format. Oracle recommends investigating with the forms available to you and working with the forms designers to meet your requirements for charts.
Note:
- The Insert Chart functionality is not available in Word or Excel.
- Smart View does not support directly inserting stepped and curved line charts. When inserting a stepped or curved line chart, Smart View will substitute the closest match, a default line chart.
