POV Manager

The Point of View (POV) is the starting point for forms, ad hoc grids, and functions.

Data source types: Oracle Essbase, Planning, Planning Modules, Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management, Financial Consolidation and Close, FreeForm, Tax Reporting

Using the POV Manager in Oracle Smart View for Office, you can change the default POV for forms and ad hoc grids, and the background POV for functions.

Note:

As a best practice, always use a private connection when working with the POV Manager. If you have already connected using a shared connection, use the Add to Private connections command to save the current shared connection as private. See Saving Connections as Private Connections.

With the POV Manager, you can perform the following operations:

Select members for the default POV and edit the default POV
Select members for the background POV for functions
Save a POV to a workbook
Copy a POV and paste it to a different worksheet or workbook
Edit a POV
Delete a POV

Note:

In Oracle Essbase, if a member linked to a Smart List is in the POV, you may not be able to change some values in the Smart List for some members present in the worksheet.
