Can't add a planning connection as a favorite in SmartView 11.1.1.3

Question

I am trying to add a Hyperion Planning connection as a favorite. I am able to add essbase connections without issue, however when I click on the Planning connections (accessed through Common Provider Connections) the option to add as a pre-defined or add as a favorite is greyed out.
I am able to add the planning connection as an independent Provider Connection, which I like because it diplays the connection information when I pull down the form (I am not getting this same connection info when I pull down the form using the common provider connection).
My goals are as follows:
1) Limit the amount of connections a user sees when logging on to SmartView (i.e. I don't want them to see our dev and test environments)
2) Make sure that when connecting to a planning form, the connection information displays on the page. When connecting to an independent provider connection, it does this. When I connect using a common provider connection, it does not.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Beth

Answer 1

Yes
In my example I took 3 dimensions;:
- Accounts : Sales
- Localisation : Americas
- Time :    Jan
Previously in version 11.1.1.1, I was proceeding as follow in 3 steps :
Step 1 put under A1 in my excel spreadsheet all the dimension which are not in column or in line therefore, I put Americas
Step 2 put under B3 my column : SALES
Step 3 put under C2 my lines : JAN
Americas
                         Jan
               Sales 100
Now in version 11.1.2.3 if i proceed the same way, Americas move to C1 and it is present as follow
                         Americas
                         Jan
          Sales      100
I hope it is clear
