Working with Supplemental Data in Smart View

You can use Oracle Smart View for Office for the data collection process. When you install the Smart View Extension for Supplemental Data Management, you can manage the data collection process and work with supplemental data forms using the Supplemental Data menu option in Smart View.

To install the extension, see "Downloading and Installing Clients " in Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators.

After you install the extension and create a connection, you can perform these Supplemental Data tasks in Smart View:

  • View a worklist of the forms that you need to act on for preparation, approval and posting

  • View a list of the Collections in the system for which you have View security rights

  • Apply filters on the data collected as part of the data collection process

    Any filters or lists that you previously created for supplemental data are available in Smart View.

Security Considerations

  • Service Administrators can view all Collections regardless of which legal entities are specified in the data collection.

  • Power Users and Users can see all Collections for which they are eligible as part of the workflow and according to their access roles for the legal entities.

  • Users will see only the forms for which they are authorized. Depending on the security role, the available options such as Save Data, Approve, or Reject change to match the associated role.
