Working with User Variables
When a Oracle Hyperion Planning, Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud, or Oracle Tax Reporting Cloud form contains user variables, you can modify them in Oracle Smart View for Office.
User variables resemble buttons in the POV toolbar in Smart View. When you click on the user variable buttons, the Member Selection dialog box is displayed. You then select members applicable for the user variable. Any filters that apply to the selected user variable are loaded and viewable from the filter drop-down list. Once selections are made, you can easily change one or more of the user variable buttons, thus changing the POV of a form in Smart View.
Figure 7-1 shows an example of user variables in a Planning form, where Allocation Expense, Allocation Quarter, and My Segment are user variables that can be modified to change the POV of the form.

To work with user variables for forms:
- In the Smart View panel, connect to a Planning data source and open a form.
Notice the available user variables in the POV toolbar across the top of the sheet. Selectable buttons are enabled, non-selectable buttons are grayed out.
