Working with POVs in Forms 2.0
About POVs
The information directly below the quick toolbar lets you select different data to work with. This is called the form's point of view (POV).
For a description of the POV bar, see Selecting Different Data to Work With.
When a form contains a POV, changes to the POV are automatically applied. If you don't want to automatically apply changes, you can deselect auto-apply for the POV bar in the form's POV Settings menu. You can also hide dimension labels on the POV bar, and clear POV selections.
