Adding Attribute Dimension Members in Smart View (Mac and Browser)

Before you begin adding attribute dimension members 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 add a member to an attribute dimension in a 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.

  2. In the Smart View Home panel, click the Attribute Dimensions folder to expand it and view the attribute dimensions in the folder.

    In the following example, the Attribute Dimensions folder is expanded and shows one attribute dimension, Market Size, in the Vision application.

  3. Select an attribute dimension to import it onto the grid.

    To illustrate, we selected the Market Size attribute dimension to edit. An example of the initial grid for the attribute dimension is shown. This dimension has no members yet, and just two properties, Parent member and Default Alias Table.

  4. In the attribute name column, under the attribute name, type the attribute member names to add.

  5. From the Smart View ribbon, click Submit.
    The attribute members are submitted to the application.

The rows for the three new members take on the cell styles of member and writeable cells. The attribute members are blue, as are the attribute dimension name and the property column headings. The properties cells for the three new member rows are yellow, meaning they are writeable.
  6. Optional: Continue editing the attribute members, entering data for other properties by typing directly in the grid, and then submit your changes.
