Setting user POV in FR Studio

Can anybody kindly guide me that is there any way to set same user POV / preferences with one time setting for all users in FR Studio..............what i know till now that i have to set user POV by logging in through each user ID.
Regards, Umair

Hi Umair
I know that there is a ManageUserPOV.properties utility that used to be in the BIPlus\bin directory but I cannot seem to find reference to it in the latest documentation (I'm probably looking in the wrong place!). That is to do with POV management but in my experience this is useful if POVs get corrupt or to set it one time only, I'm not sure how easy it is to use it to manage user POVs day to day.
I have just found some information in the Property Information section (Chapter 4) of the attached document:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/fr_webadmin.pdf
I've never tried it but it implies that you can set the default user preferences for FR, some settings for studio and some for workspace/web. I wish I'd found this before as I've always had it as a users first task to log in and set their default preferences, e.g. Preview POV = ON is controlled by the following in Java: com.hyperion.reporting.HRPrefs.previewuserpov
Hope this helps

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.

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

[FR] How to set default member in User POV Preview

Hi!
Does anyone know how to set the default member in User POV Preview for first time users?
Example:
For dimension Entity, the default member that appear in first login of user is the Top Level member "Dim_Entity", regardless of security. It happens with all first time users.
We already try to change the User POV in Preferences, but this only limit the choices of user and didn't set the default member.
We are using version 11.1.1.3.
Thanks,
Luís

Check the following PDF for Manage User POV utility.There is an option to import POV for the users.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/fr_user.pdf (page 297)
hope this helps

Remove un-neccessary dimensions from user POV

All -
There are total 8 dimensions which are part of user POV in my Financial Report. I would like to hide 2 dimensions (those will be set to "None" always) from user POV. I don't want to move those dimensions in pages/columns/rows and hide them. Is there a better way of hiding those dimensions in FR studio?
Thank you in advance!

Good job on figuring this out on your own :) It is a nice feature, makes the reports more clean.

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)

Display Currency Value of User POV for Entity & Value in Text Box (Header)

I am looking for a function in Financial Reporting Studio that operates the same as the HsCurrency function in Smart View. This would allow batch reports displaying the currency value of the User POV for Entity based on the User POV for Value. Right now I have to have Member Lists for separate reports and different currencies as I am only able to display the Value dimension in the heading of a given report. Users will not be certain of the currency if the Value dimension is <Entity Curr Total>.
I tried the HFMCurrency text function, however the entity is not defined in a Row / Column / Page reference as the entity is determined by the User's Point of View.
Is there a way to display the currency value of a User's Point of View for Entity based on the User's Point of View for Value?
Reference from Oracle Hyperion Smart View for Office, Fusion Edition, User's Guide:
HsCurrency
Data sources: Financial Management, Hyperion Enterprise
HsCurrency retrieves the currency value of the specified dimension member. Entity and Value are the only valid members for the HsCurrency function.
Syntax
HsCurrency (“Connection,Entity;Value”)
Example
In this example, HsCurrency retrieves the entity currency where the currency for the East Sales entity is USD, and the currency for the UKSales entity is GBR. The EastSales entity displays USD, and UKSales displays GBR.
HsCurrency(“Comma”,”Entity#EastRegion.EastSales;Value#<Entity Currency>.”)
HsCurrency(“Comma”,”Entity#EastRegion.UKSales;Value#<Entity Currency>.”)

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,

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.

In Hyperion Workspace 11.1.1.3 can you globally set user preference?

In Hyperion Workspace 11.1.1.3, is there a way to globally set the Hyperion Reporting User Point of View to 'on' for all users?

Yes, you can. I believe it is in the Hyperion\products\biplus\lib folder for 11.1.1.3, but you may have to search for it. Look for fr_repserver.properties. Change the "     Prompt User POV" property from OFF to ON. You will have to restart the following services.
1.     Hyperion Financial Reporting – Print Server
2.     Hyperion Financial Reporting – Report Server
3.     Hyperion Financial Reporting – Scheduler Server
4.     Hyperion Financial Reporting – Web Application (might be on different server)

Relative Generation for user POV

I am developing reports in Financial Reporting Studio for Hyperion Planning. I want to create a report that brings in only the first three relative dimensions in the user POV. Specifically I have a Product dimension in the row section of the report and I want to make it so that if the user selects a member high in the product hierarchy that it returns only the first three generations so that the report is not really long. Ideally I would like the report to be expandable so that if the user wants to dig deeper than three generations they can by expanding. I can not seem to find a way to do this with any one or combination of lists, functions or relationships. I guess I am looking for a list like "RelativeGeneration,CurrentPOVforProduct" but unfortunately this does not exist. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
-Scott

These sound like very good ideas. We will try to add a clone user capability. I assume point 1 and 3 could be combined; so we could show the SQL to create the USER and below all the grants.

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?
Regards
Stuart
