Ribbons

From Office applications, you access Oracle Smart View for Office functionality through ribbon commands.

The Smart View ribbon contains commands for connecting to various data source providers, launching the Home panel and Options panel, performing operations such as Refresh or Submit Data, and viewing sheet information and health check parameters. The Smart View ribbon is always present.

When you connect to a data source provider (other than Oracle Hyperion Reporting and Analysis ), the corresponding provider ribbon is displayed. Each ribbon displays only the commands supported for that data source provider and mode. For example, in the following illustration for Planning, when you access a Planning form, the Planning ribbon is displayed; when you enter ad hoc analysis (see Ad Hoc Analysis), the Planning Ad Hoc ribbon is displayed.


In the foreground, shows the Planning data source ribbon, which displays when accessing a Planning form. In the background, shows the Planning Ad Hoc ribbon, which displays when accessing Planning ad hoc.

Apart from the Smart View ribbon, the provider ribbons include the following:

  • Planning

  • Planning Ad Hoc

  • EPCM (Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management)

  • EPCM Ad Hoc

  • FCCS (Financial Consolidation and Close)

  • FCCS Ad Hoc

  • TRCS (Tax Reporting)

  • TRCS Ad Hoc

  • Essbase

  • Others—If the Service Administrator has installed and configured your Smart View system with extensions, there may be other ribbons; for example:

    • Narrative Reporting

    • Narrative Reporting Ad Hoc
