    1. Log in to the data source to which you were previously connected.

      • Mac:

        1. In the Smart View Home panel, where the Oracle Cloud Sign In page is displayed, enter your user login credentials.

        2. Click the i icon on the Mac button and select Reload from the drop-down menu.

          The Library for the connected data source is displayed in the Smart View Home panel.

          Note:

          You should still be on the sheet containing Smart View content.

      • Chrome:

        1. In the tab containing the Oracle Cloud Sign In page, enter your login credentials.

          Note:

          This is the tab that opened when you selected the Disconnect action in the previous step.

          After login, the EPM Cloud business process home page is displayed.

        2. Return to the browser tab containing the Smart View content with which you were previously working.

    2. Select the Smart View ribbon, and then click Refresh.

      Alternatively, if the provider or provider ad hoc ribbon is displayed, you can use the Refresh button on that ribbon.

      Repeat this step for each sheet in the workbook.
