Importing Dimensions in Smart View (Mac and Browser)

Before you begin to work with dimensions in Oracle Smart View for Office (Mac and Browser), you should either sideload or deploy Smart View in your environment. Instructions are in Deploying and Administering Oracle Smart View for Office (Mac and Browser):

To import a dimension into an Oracle Smart View for Office (Mac and Browser) grid:

  1. From the Smart View ribbon, click Home.

    In the Home panel, dimensions are displayed in the Dimensions folder. If attribute dimensions are defined, they are displayed in the Attribute Dimensions folder.

    If a Time Period dimension is defined, it's displayed in the Dimensions folder. Note that for the Time Period dimension, Data Storage is the only editable property.
