POV and User POV in Web Analysis 9.3

Hi,
I am a bit confused with POV and User POV in Web Analysis 9.3.1. I have a few web analysis dashboard to be used by several different groups of users. I use the admin to go in and for each of the report, I set whether need to use User POV (in data layout option) and/or use POV (the POV is activated in the database connection).
However, I use the other user id (no the admin) to login and go to each of the dashboard, such settings of using User POV and/or POV are not valid. I wonder which setting I can set so that all the user will inherit the POVs setting from the default one.
Since I have too many users, I can not use each user id and password to do such settings individually.
Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

If your chart's selections and therefore it's colors are basically static, try creating the legend by hand.
Our users requested that the Legends be different than what we could get it to display so I turned off the Legend and created my own. Since the colors on my graph don't change I was able to hard-code the legend. Place a new, small panel inside your chart where you want the Legend to be. Then create colored squares using MS Paint (fill a square then Colors | Edit Colors to specify the exact RGB) that match the colors of each bar/pie slice and insert them as Images on the panel. Re-size so they're small. Then create a text box next to each color for your Legend text.
Then enable a Line Border on the panel & that should do it. Right click on your chart and choose Send To Back so the Legend is on top.
My legend is in a panel beneath the chart (not inside it) but the above steps should work for what you need.
Be sure when you view this on whatever your standard resolution is such as 1024 X 768 that the legend & titles appear where you want them, otherwise move things around until it's satisfactory.
Good Luck,
Karen Smejkal

  • User POV and Grid POV

    What is the difference between Grid POV and User POV?

    User POV can be changed by the user, grid POV can't.

  • Drill Down and Drill UP on Web Analysis Report

    Hi all,
    I have a question regarding Drill down and Drill up on Web Analysis Report.
    The situation is the following:
    I've created a report with some account parent elements in row. The dimension account has a multiple hierarchy.
    I need to drill down on the child of these elements keeping the parente on top and so i've selected the option "Selected Member First".
    The drill down it's ok for the first drill to go on the next level but when i drill down once more to go on the next level of the selected member hierarchy the drill move this level out hierarchy.
    Can someone help me on this point?
    After that i've drilled just to the last level when i drill up on these elements to return on the previous level i note that in the report happens a strange thing:
    The Drill Up works fine but on the report appears another elements which is the same parent with anothe code/alias of another hierarchy instead of the Selected member.
    On this i've noted tha this 2 different parente have the same elements...I think that the children of the selected memeber can be shared members....Can be this the problem?
    Thanks for the help.
    Best Regards
    Eugenio Gualtieri

    Hi John,
    thanks for your answer.
    I've trayed to set the report on Smart View to virify tou test your advise.
    The situatio is the following:
    IS05101010-PUBBLICITA'
    702000 - VEND. DI SPAZIO PUBBLICITARIO
    702010 - RETTIFICHE VENDITE SPAZIO PUBBLICITARIO

    W10007 - RICAVI DA SPAZIO PUBBL. INTERASA     
    W10029 - RETTIFICA RICAVI PUBBL. INTERASA     
    If I take only one parent member the drill up works fine but if i take all 2 memeber as above and i decide to drill up on one of the two element occur that the drill work for the two elements at the same time.
    Afetr the drill in this case the situation is:
    IS05101010-PUBBLICITA'
    ED05101010-PUBBLICITA'
    Can be a problem due to shared memebers?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Disable Save and Save As in Web Analysis

    I have some standard Web Analysis reports that I want to share amongst users. I've created a common folder in Workspace and saved the reports (each is just a simple grid) to the folder.
    If my users are provisioned as Viewers they can drill up and down on the grid but not navigate the dimensions (no pivoting).
    But, and this is the question, how do I stop Web Analysis from prompting them to save the report if they have drilled down? If the user does click on Save the file is not saved. The same goes for Save As -- the user can type anything he likes -- regardless of location (personal folder or originating folder) or name (same value or a different one) the file is not saved.
    Thanks,
    Cameron Lackpour

    Whoops, I forgot to add that this is Web Analysis 9.3.1

    Iain,
    Thank you for your answer -- that did the trick.
    Bizarrely (I use that word a lot wrt Web Analysis), I cannot see this setting for Viewer provisioned users but I can for users provisioned as Analysts/Report Designers. In my case that's fine as I need to move users to that level of provisioning to allow them to swap dimensions and save the reports to their custom folders when desired.
    Thanks again.
    Regards,
    Cameron Lackpour
    P.S. Yes, having each user change it manually/separately is a pain but that can be addressed in training.

  • Selecting Member Name and also Alias in Web Analysis report

  • Setting up user preferences in web analysis

    From an admin perspective does anybody know how to setup preferences for a user/group in WA? I want to establish the users prefs, not them. Ideally, I would like to setup a group/shared preference and then put users in that group/share and have the user preferences point to the group/share preferences. As an admin i can repoint the user prefs to the group/share prefs. I did this in the web analyzer 7.2 but i don't know how to do this in system 9. I'm guessing i would do this in Shared Services??

    FYI...
    I am getting closer with this one. Shared services is the key. I set the startup page for WA in SS under projects. Users are seeing the WA document but i need for them to repoint their preferences to a shared preference under <Profiles>. My problem is the users don't see the shared pref file under the <Profiles> folder. As an admin I see the file. I suspect it has to do with SS provisioning but based on the provisioning for the users i thought they would see the shared pref file. Does anybody have any knowledge on pushing out shared preferences to users?

  • Database Access to Web Analysis Users

    Hi,
    I am working on a planning application on EPM 11.1.1.3. I have assigned access to users to the Web forms, business rules, dimension members etc. The access is properly applied to all users when they login to the planning application.
    However, none of the security filters are applicable to the Web Analysis reports when the same users login with their ID's in Web Analysis.
    1. For example, the user can see all members in the 'Entity' dimension drop-down box in the report. What can I do to apply dimension member access to the reports also?
    2. Secondly, when a non-admin user opens a web analysis report, it prompts for a username and password to connect to the database. Only when I specify the admin username and password, the user can view the data. If I enter the user's own username and password, no data is displayed on the report. Can anybody guide me as to how I should allow database access to non-admin users.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Sahil

    1. While users see all dimension members under Entity, do they see the data for them?
    - one way to reduce the amount of members users see is to use Meta-read filters - although meta-read filters cannot be used with write filters.
    2. Normally when users open up a WA report, the report defaults to the highest level - so total entity.
    - one way to have users see their data is to use User POV - although this requires users to set up their POV per data source under preferences (but only once).
    Hope this helps, cheers, Iain

  • Workspace and Web Analysis - null folder automatically created

    Hi.
    We have recently installed BI+ service pack 9.3.1.3. Since that, we have been experiencing problems on Workspace and Web Analysis: in particular, a null folder is automatically created as users login to Web Analysis Studio.
    Moreover, it is not possible to assign Web Analysis' shared preferences, because of that null folder. In fact, users' preferences always shows path to null folder: for example, Document Folder path points to /Users/null/Reports for every user logged in to Web Analysis Studio. By this way, it is not possible to save changes.
    Looking at BIPLUS repository, I noticed that in HYA_DB_PREFS table, there is a record containing NULL value for field USERNAME. I was wondering whether this record normally exist in the table or it could be related to the problem that we are experiencing. Does anyone have similar record in his installed BI+ environment?
    Thanks a lot in advance for help

    Hi Andrea
    Since the installation from service pack 9.3.1.3 we've new problems on Workspace and Web Analysis too.
    Null folder ist automaticall created as users login to Web Analysis Studio
    And it is not possible to save changes in Workspace Preferences, except I'm login as Administrator
    Have you found a solution?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Ian,
    Thanks for the advise but I have looked into your possible solution and referred to the Web Analysis user guide. I have a number of reports and when selecting the Design for HTML option - a number of objects are valid and should be displayed in the workspace.
    After creating reports from scratch - with valid objects - the problem still persists.
    Unfortunately, I don't think this provides a solution to the problem.

  • Problems in Limiting Export option in Web Analysis shortcut menu options

    Hi everyone,
    i'm trying to limit the shortcut menù option in Web Analysis studio following the instructions in the WA 9.3.1 user guide: "Limiting Web Analysis Studio Shortcut Menu Options" page 293. Exactly i would hyde the Export to some users (an user with Viewer and Expoler permissions).
    The problem is that the solution does not work.
    Resuming:
    First, I have created the WAMenu.xml file, with restrictions for the roles: Viewer and Explorer (using the same tags of the Sample XML File in the guide)
    Second, I have modified the WebAnalysis.properties file removing the # ahead this two lines:
    "WAStudioMenuControl= C:/Hyperion/Analyzer/conf/WAMenu.xml
    ModuleName=WebAnalysisStudio"
    and modified the path with the correct location of the XML file.
    At last, i have restart the services regarding Workspace and Web Analysis.
    But, it does not work. The user can still see the export options in the shortcut menu..I don't understand what is wrong..
    I really hope that someone can help me!!

    Hi Iain,
    thanks for answering.
    Unfortunately it doesn't restrict neither in the workspace nor in the WA studio.
    I made a lot of attempts, not only with export but also with other option, and there are no changes!!
    Do you remember if you made the same steps descripted above, or there is something that i did not make (or made wrong)??
    Cheers,

  • Web Analysis reports based on Planning application

    All,
    I have migrated planning application from dev to prod using LCM, planning version 11.1.1.2. everything has been migrated and working fine.
    Web Analysis reports, and Database connections are also migrated from DEV to PROD.
    User has uploaded some PLAN data for FY10 through smartview on PROD server, but unable to see the data using Database connection migrated from DEVL but he can see the data when he creates new database connection on PROD.
    both database connections are from same database but he cannot see any new data uploaded through smartview with old database connection and he have tons of reports based on old database connection.
    can I change database connection for old reports with new database connection or do I need to fix something on my planning side.
    Please provide some suggestions. I can give more info if required.
    Thanks
    Ravi S

    Hi,
    LCM will have created xml exports with the database connection information in them.
    If you open one of the xml database connection exports you will see something like
    <server-name>localhost</server-name>
    <application-name>PLANSAMP</application-name>
    <database-name>Consol</database-name>
    You would need to update the information such as the servername in the files then import them in again using LCM.
    Cheers

  • Security for the Web Analysis reports

    I created a report using my user id in Web Analysis studio version 11.1.1.3. When I login as another user, I can't see the report. How do I give access to other users? Do I need to change owner? I created the report under directory, where all the reports are and the users can get to those reports.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    You would have to go into Workspace and Edit Permissions for that report to grant access to the report.

  • Creatin crucial report in web analysis

    Hi,Experts
    Here is an interesting issue.we have Actual and Forecast data.
    In generating the reports using web analysis for one crucial report.we have version number which is a memebr of version dimension.Based on the version number selected,it must show only the forecasted data and not the actuals data in the report.
    How can we show to users in the web analysis reporting. Is there any approach to do at Cube level?
    (Thing is that there should be a link between version and time)
    Clear explenation: If we select particalar version number "v1003" ,the data must be displayed in the reports from current month to next 24 months,the before actuals must not be displayed.
    Regards,
    Vardhan..

    Reports in Web Analysis most probably generate MDX queries which are sent to Essbase to fetch the results. I've never come across to something like MDX profiler for essbase as this could have been the only way to capture those queries.

    The Top/Bottom functionality is available via the right click Analysis Tools option. To get to thisget out of design mode and view the report and then right click on the row/col that you want to perform the restriction on.
    the Top/Bottom option is then available.
    Hope this helps
