Financial Reports - Task- Setup User POV

Hi
In FR when we select the members for a User POV using Task->Setup User POV........................Does the list of members apply to this particular report or all reports with this database connection.
For every report the User prompt Members for a DIm might be different.....but when the members are selected for a particular Dim in a report......& when i open other report these selected members of earlier report of same Dim earlier selected are reflecting.
Plz clarify..
hope im clear.
Thnx

Financial Reporting keeps the POV settings for that session for dimensions.
For example, if the user has selected account Gross Margin, in the POV for the first report, every other report for the rest of that session that has account in the POV will default to Gross Margin. (Unless they later change it to something else).

Financial Reports last Modified user name.

Hi,
I Observed some of the reports were modified in Production, Unfortunately few of our users have the access to modify them. But when i ask who did the change no one is responding as usual.
Is there any way we can find out the user ID who modified the report lately?
thanks.

Hi,
Try enabling User Tracking option under Repoting Analysis from Workspace.
Also, you can check out various FR activities in FRLogging.log file.
Thanks,

Does User POV Supersedes Grid POV in Hyperion - Financial Reporting ver 9.3

In Hyperion Financial Reporting studio , under grid POV , for a perticular dimension we have selected a perticular member from the list.
Now on the User POV, for the same Dimension it is selected as "any member". Now when we open the FR report in PDF from the same user ID, in POV option we are able to view all members. It looks like User POV settings is superseding the grid POV.
Is there any way by which we can select grid POV to take control over user POV? or if it is possible that users will be able to view the report only based on grid POV?
Regards,

Have you selected any particular member in Grid POV. ? i.e selecting grid POV and doing member selection.
If you select any member in GRID POV then while running the report it will not ask value for that particular member in POV window. i.e it will always consider the by default member while running the report.

Financial Reporting Studio - Suppress Shared Members During Entity Prompt

I am trying to create a Financial Reporting Studio report where the entity members that are displayed as a prompt only reflect the entities the user has access to with only one occurrence in the list. I have tried the following scenarios with no luck.
In Workspace, the Financial Reporting Preference, the Setup User POV option "Member Selection Displays" is set to "Only Members I Can Access" and not "All Members Regardless of Access".
The Financial Report is set up so that the user is prompted for the Entity so they can select multiple entities to run the report.
This works fine, except this is also displaying the shared members in the alternate hierarchies when responding to the Entity prompt.
As part of Defining the prompt, I have included the main entity structure in the "Choices List" in hopes that the shared members wouldn't display as an option to select, but this ends up displaying all of the entities in the hierarchy overriding what is the Financial Reporting Preference (acts like "All Members Regardless of Access"). I have also tried the Union of "Suppress shared members" and "Same level as" a level zero entity, but I'm still seeing all of the members of the main entity hierarchy, rather than a list of entities the user has access to.
Is there a way to display all of the entities only once that a user has access to during a prompt for a report? I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!!

I don't think there's a native way to do this in HFR. How could it be done other than through creating a custom selection list? Okay, I guess that is one way but it hurts my brain to think about maintaining it unless it could maybe be done through IDESCENDANTS of 1 and 2.
Here are two other thoughts:
1) Write a report against the Planning (I could be wrong about you using Planning as you specify Essbase, but the question is in the Planning board) tables to get this information. I don't know how to do it, but I'm guessing with some SQL gyrations it should be possible.
2) Stick an attribute against hierarchies 1 & 2 and report on them that way. You the designer already know that they are related. More maintenance on the front end, but a surefire way to get the member list out.

Financial Reports Access

My reports that use "User POV" are giving the users the following error
5222: Unable to view report. You do not have access to the following members on the POV:
If I move the POV to Grid POV then it opens without error (even thought it's the same member). I also selected the member in my Financial Reports preference. I originally had 3 dimensions in User POV. Each gave the same error. I removed all and everything worked. As soon as I moved it back it started not working. The user does not have access to all members in the hierarchy (so they don't have access to the top member)
How do I set this up so User POV works properly for all users???
Basically the objective is to have the filter work with whatever member the user has access to but give them the option to switch to other member that the user has access to as well.
We are running 11.1.1.3 in production.

Yes I was getting an error every single time and preview removed the error. And no I didn't get a pop up box to switch it to something else.
This only occurs on dimensions you put security on it.
I actually figured out that you can do this for the user. Then once you have saved your user settings (in UserPOV). You can then remove the "preview" on and it still works without the error because my settings.
Kind of bad design IMO

Financial Reporting bug

Hi,
I have a problem when I'm launching a Financial Report, the selection tool doenn't apply any access restriction. The security are ok because qhen I'm in a webform Planning the securities are ok.
When I launch the selection tool in Reports pop up:
First, in the selection window of Hyperion Financial Reporting, a common user has visibility on all the members of the dimension, despite the defined security.
Second, when the user want to access to a member of a dimension which can't have access, a wrong serie of number like "123456789..." appears until of a "#NoAccess" like in Smartview.
Have a idea ?
Thanks for help

FR security I'm pretty sure runs against Essbase for members not against Planning.
So the first test is to create an Adhoc report in Smartview that is similar to a member / member combo that you believe shouldn't be visible. Make sure that you aren't using a webform in Smartview and build it directly from Essbase connetion
If you get the proper restrictions in Smartview Essbase and it's not working in FR. Then this is a bug and you should log an SR
if you get the same access in Smartview, it could be that you haven't synch'd the Essbase security and you should try that and repeat the above step.
Note. Planning creates Essbase security that is read-only (thought this shouldn't impact FR as you can't write-back in FR)
about the reason you are seeing funny numbers instead of "no Access". That one seems really odd to be honest. Try running the report again and see if getting the same thing repeatadly (could be a ghost error). I might suggest re-cycling the servers as well to see if that get's rid of the problem. if not probably another SR (IMO).
Actually thinking about the No access. you can set what you want it to display in FR by user. Double check that they didn't go in there and type that number you were seeing (odd chance but a chance)

User POV does not pop up from Report in task list

Hello,
I've created a report within Related Content in HFM and added it to a task list--the problem I'm experiencing is when I run the report the User POV does not pop up, rather it simply uses the default POV (ie, whatever is set up in data grids or process management)--this happens if I try to run it directly from Related Content or from the task list. My preferences within Financial Reporting have already been updated to 'On' to preview the User POV and if I run the report from Financial Reporting (ie, Explore) the User POV works fine--so, it seems like adding a report to Related Content disables the User POV from popping up. I'm running on Financial Reporting v11.1.2.1 and HFM v11.1.2.1.104.3701. I can't find anything about it within this forum, knowledge base or as a known issue in the ReadMe for the .104 patch set for HFM.
Can anybody fill me in on if this is functionality by design or a defect?
Best regards,
Jason Call

Financial Reports do not work as you might expect when they are used as a related content item. As you already have realized, you will not be able to adjust the FR POV items from inside of HFM.
A 'work around' would be to link to the report and put that link in the Tasklist. This will then open the report 'normally' and you will get the POV functionality that you expect.
To find the link to a report, open the report's properties and look at the 'smartcut' value. (That is a URL directly to the report)

Hyperion Financial Reporting is taking long time to show the User POV

Hi,
we are using the HFR (version 9.3.1.2) and when i double click on any report in the workspace it is taking 5 minutes to show me the User POV. Can any one of you let me know how to find where the issue is.
Regards,
VJ

Hi VJ
Things that I am aware of that can slow down reports are:
1. Lots of members on the page (HFR tries to bring all the data into memory when run to speed up data display when changing from page to page)
2. Nesting of attributes (due to dynamic nature of calculations)
3. Nesting of dynamic calcs (similar to above)
If you have any of the above that could be your issue although it sounds like it may be more a hardware issue than an issue with the reports themselves. Does it always take that long? even if you re-run a report that has been run before?

Financial Reports - fix User POV to a default Dim member

HI
Could we fix User POV to a default Dim member ..........when a report is run the Dim should have the default member...
How can we do it.
Thnx in advance

Hi All,
We are also facing the same issue..
Its strange that FR saves the last changed userPOV.
Can you guys help us identifying the location where FR saves the userPOV? is it DB repository or any property file or XML file.
Thanks

Essbase connection - POV in Financial Reporting prompts missing

Hi,
I'm connecting to Essbase using Financial Reporting, this report has 3 POV's. When I go to Workspace and run that report, I only see one POV. When log in as someone else, I see the 3 POV's expected. Does anyone ever encountered this? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you.

Hi,
I had a similiar problem, but really not sure how close it is compared to yours.
My issue was, for a old report,I had 3 "user point of view" dimensions set up, but when I ran them on workspace, I had none of the user POV prompts coming up for selection. I identified that, the user point of view isn't working or not recognized by the report. so below is what i did to get them to work.
1. Navigated to "Dimension Layout" and moved the "user point of view" dimensions to "Pages". Saved it.
2.Then again reverted back the same dimension back to "user point of view" dimension.[Just did this to get rid of the report memory having the user point of view dimensions]
3.Unchecked Grid point of view [Incase if it is checked]
4.Navigated to Task->User Point of View, and for the 3 dimensions in the user point of view, select "Member from List" and for each dimension give more than one selection[ :) ], like sample below.
Dimension: report viewers may select Choices List
Hsp_Audits A Member from List Hsp_Rate_InputValue, Hsp_Rate_USD
Save the report, Try running the report from Workspace. This way i got all my user point of view prompts while running them in workspace.
Thanks,
Leo Jose.

How to Set up the User POV in Web Analysis report

Hi , I am new to create the Hyperion Web Analysis report.
I am trying to set up the user POV. I have followed the document and did the below steps.
1. I went to User preference -> OLAP Server -->checked the BOX "Save Filters only for POV".
2. selected the layout and in options checked the Use user POV.
after that I have opened the report in HTML. nothing got prompted.
When I opened the Financial report, It will prompt user to select the year, period, entity, etc... I need the same way in Web Analysis also.
I have selected Accounts in rows, Entity, Year, Period in columns , rest all i kept in Filters.
Could some one please help me how user can get prompted to select the members from dimensions.
Thanks

What you have in Webanalysis is POV and PV
Applying Point of View (POV)
Selecting Personal Variables
You can also look at Oracle - Hyperion Labs......: WebAnalysis - how to show the current user's report when he logs in to see how PV can be leveraged.
There is no prompt option in WebAnalysis

How to email the Financial Reports to selected set of users - Hyperion

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if there is a way to email a financial report (in Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio) to selected set of users based on the selection of Entity from the POV. If yes can it be automized in a way that everytime the report is run for a particular entity, it will email the report to the selected set of users?.
Thanks

Yes, you can schedule batches (not in FR, but in Workspace). You might find this useful:

Setting up User POV in Report Studio

I have taken an existing report and saved it under a new report name in order to create a new reporting view. The new report requires me to set the POV so the user can only select qtr end months. I did this successfully by selecting Task>User POV and selecting only the quarter end months for period. The problem is now you can only select the quarter end months for the original report as well. If I attempt to open the original report and remove this setting it will also remove the setting from new report. Can anyone help? I am using HFM 9.3.1.2.0.333 with reporting studio 9.3.1.354

Rather than setting it from the User POV, try placing a prompt in one of the data columns (You can hide it if you don't wanna see it) in the prompt definitions, you can set the QTD from the view dimension and/or also limit the months to MAR, JUN, SEP,DEC with a choices list.
