Comments in Free-Form Grids

Data source types: Oracle Analytics Cloud - Essbase, Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud

Note:

Oracle Analytics Cloud - Essbase: You cannot add comments on worksheets that are enabled for multiple grids.

Comments can be placed as follows:

Between row dimensions
Between column dimensions
Between page dimensions
Between dimensions and data cells
Interleaved with members of page dimensions
Interleaved with members of row, column and page dimensions

Further, comment rows and comment columns can be interleaved with row and column dimensions.
To the left, right, top, bottom of the grid.

Comments cannot be placed in data cells or in cells that intersect row and column dimensions in the upper right corner.

When working with comments in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud, note that comments are supported both inside and outside of the grid boundaries.

Note:

Comments are not saved to the provider server in the free-form worksheet. For example, if you use the Save Ad Hoc Grid command with a Oracle Hyperion Planning free-form or ad hoc grid, the formulas are not saved. However, you can retain the comments in a worksheet by performing a Save in Excel and saving the workbook.
