Calculation Manager Views
Views enable you to see Calculation Manager objects in different contexts. For example, the Deployment View displays objects according to whether they're deployed or not deployed. The Custom View displays objects according to filters and criteria that you select.
The Calculation Manager contains the following views:
-
List View
-
System View
-
Custom View
-
Deployment View
-
View Pane
List View
The List View contains a filtered list of Essbase applications or databases, and objects, rule sets, rules, or formula components, filter according to your criteria.
System View
The System View is the default view that's displayed when you start the Calculation Manager. It contains a list of all of the applications and objects to which you have access. Your privileges are determined by the role you're assigned in Shared Services. For each object, the owner, the user who made the last change, and the date the changes were last made are listed.
Custom View
The Custom View enables you to create folders and move objects into them to create a view that contains only your objects. This view enables you to organize objects in a way that's meaningful to you.
Deployment View
The Deployment View contains a list of the rules and rule sets that are deployable with their deployment and validation status. From this view, select rules and rules sets in an application to make them deployable. Deploy one or more rules or rule sets (partial deployment), or deploy all rules and rule sets in an application (full deployment).
View Pane
The View Pane enables you to create or open an object. Depending on whether you're working in a rule or a rule set, the Rule or Ruleset Palette, is displayed in the View Pane. In the palette, move new and existing objects into the rule, rule set, or flow chart.
When working with views display or hide the View Pane using the View menu. In the Custom View, move new and existing objects from the View Pane into the folders you create. In the System and List views, the View Pane is hidden by default. In the Deployment View, the View Pane isn't available.
The following table lists the tasks that can be performed from the various views in the Calculation Manager.
