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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Resulting grid does not contain at least one row, one column and one POV

    I have upgraded to 9.3.3 recently.
    We have a front end app which will run MDX queries to retrieve data.
    Sometimes based on the users selections MDX query might get back nothing i.e will get #missing across all rows/columns and this works fine with the existing 9.3.1 essbase server.
    If I run the same query against a 9.3.3 essbase cube I get the error "Resulting grid does not contain at least one row, one column and one POV. If you have any suppress row options selected pls clear them."
    I DO NOT have Supress missing data/zero enabled. Not sure why I get this error even though I dont have that option enabled.
    Essbase 9.3.3 on HP-UX ITanium 11.31
    APS 9.3.3 on win 2003 R2
    Smartview 9.3.3 - also tried with smartview 9.3.1.6 and see the same error.
    Any suggestions to fix this issues?

    The front end is using a VBA command "hypexecutequery" and with 9.3.3 essbase I get a return code -9 which means Operation was cancelled as per the smartview doc.
    In 9.3.1 essbase I get the return code 0 which means the query is fine even if it does not return any data.
    The query I am using now will return nothing as it is a check to see if there is any data. But with 9.3.3 Essbase I get an error code -9 which looks like it does not like the syntax or something.
    Any suggestions?

  • Difference b/w Prompts,User POV,Grid POV & Pages

    Hi
    What is the difference between Prompts,User POV,Grid POV & Pages....When do we use them.
    Thnks

    Hi Ann
    Kelly is right the details are all in the documentation that should be easily available... My thoughts and experience of the different options are as follows and may help you:
    Pages: Provide multiple choices for one or more dimensions in a drop down list within the report. Be a bit careful with these, I've avoided them as in earlier versions reports with a lot of members in on the page drop down list took a long time to load. This may have improved with the more recent releases but I've not really used them for a while
    Prompts: Allow users to select member(s) for the report at run-time. Personally I'm not keen on these as it takes more user selections (clicks of the mouse) to actually get to your report each time, I prefer to use the POVs
    Grid POV: Similar to user POV but I've tended to use them where I want to use a fixed member from a dimension e.g. 'Actual' or 'YearTotal' but not show it in the report grid rows or columns (useful if you have several dimensions this can apply to)
    User POV: I find this the most useful for things that change regularly like Year, Location, Scenario, Version, particularly in combination with the Grid POV as mentioned above. The User POV is stored for each user and the last POV used is applied to the next report when opened
    Good luck with your report building, I'm sure you'll develop your own preferences as you get used to the options.

  • Dynamic header based on the chosen Grid POV

    Hello,
    I have two grids Grid1 and Grid2. Both the grids have one editable POV and are different from each other. Either of the grids are being hidden based on a flag being input by the user.
    I need to display the dimension name and the member name of the chosen Grid POV in a text box in the header. This needs to dynamically change based on the grid being displayed. e.g. If the Grid POV for Grid1 is "X" and for Grid2 is "Y", I need to display "X" when the grid2 is hidden and "Y" when grid1 is hidden. There is no conditional formatting on text boxes in headers. Is there any other way to do this?
    Thanks,
    Ravi B

    Hi Ravi,
    yes you can not apply conditional formatting on text boxes.
    But it is possible to put the conditional formatting on the grid cell and then you can pick the text from grid cell into text box.
    Hopefully this will solve your problem.

  • Dynamic Row Suppression based on grid POV

    Hi,
    I need to suppress rows based on the grid POV. The report is set up to have accounts in the rows and the user is able to select a specific account in the grid POV. Based on the grid selection, half of the accounts in the rows either need to be suppressed or not.
    One solution already available is to use advanced suppression on each row but this option will take too long. I'd like to find a solution using UDA's or some other way. Any ideas?

    Im not sure there is any simple way to get dynamic row selection based on what is selected in the page.
    If I were designing the form based on what you have stated, I would probably stick both Account and Year in the page, and the 400 products in rows. This would require the user to select the different combinations of Year / Account, but would mean only 12 columns (instead of 72).
    Alternatively you could stick Account in rows too - meaning 800 rows, but less combinations to select in Page....all depends what is deemed acceptable to the user.
    Probably other approaches that may be better than above (put Product in the Page for fun!!)
    Thanks

  • Financial Reporting Studio - Grid POV

    I have a report running from HFM (9.3.1.3.0.2176) using Financial Reporting Studio (9 9.3.1.0.0.0325) where I have restricted the Grid POV to 'Select members from a list' on Accounts.
    When I run the report as an HTML from within Reporting Studio or workspace, a box appears entitled 'Preview user POV' with 'This report/book will run for the members on the user point of view listed below' with a selection box that when clicked only shows the accounts I defined in the list.
    However, when the report is run from Workspace (9.1.1.0.0.248) by any other user then the accounts are not restricted.
    Can I make the accounts restricted to the list for ONLY this report for all users without impacting any other reports and if so, please can you explain how?
    Thanks in advance
    PS I also restricted User POV in the vain hope that it would make a difference but no :-(

    Select the grid. You will grid POV checked in right side properties window. Uncheck that.

  • Hiding the locked Grid POV's in HFR

    Hello Experts,
    I have a HFR report wherein we have two grids and each one is being displayed based on the input for a User point of view provided by the User. e.g. When the user enters "Y" for "Flag" Dimension Grid 1 is being displayed and Grid 2 when the user enters "N". There are many Grid POVs and all the Grid POV's except for one has been locked for both the grids. The unlocked POV's for both the grids are different. e.g. The active Grid POV for Grid 1 is "X" and for Grid 2 is "Y.
    How do i hide the locked Grid POV's when i run and view the report in Workspace?
    It would be really gr8 if anyone helps me out on this.
    Thanks in advance
    Ravi B

    Hi Ravi,
    The dimensions which one dont specify in the grid row/column/pages, are displayed either as Grid POV or User POV.
    So instead of locking that dimesion selection in the grid POV, place that dimension in the grid and then hide the corresponding row/column.

  • Issue with Grid POV

    Hi ,
    We have a report where in the GRid pov, we have set 3 dimensions as 'User Point of View" and others locked for a specific member..
    We recently migrated from V7 to V11 and we are running into a issue where the lock on the dimensions goes away and all the dimensions are set to 'user Point of view"...Is there a way to fix this?
    For Ex:
    I have a dimension called "Scenario" set to 'Actual" and it is locked..
    but when I run the report , it brings it up as a User POV...

    When you right click on the Grid setup and click "Grid Point of View" does it show "Actual" grayed out?

  • Grid POV disappears during essbase refresh

    Hi all,
    The grid pov that we created for our reports disppears when user tries to open the report during Essbase cube refresh.
    when try to open FR report during cube refresh (outline build), the grid pov members are set to the parent instead of the members that have been originally selected.
    whn we open the same report after essbase cube refresh, Grid pov still shows the parent..so we had to go to report studio and reset the Grid pov.
    Is there any way we can handle this.
    all reports work fine when run after essbase cube refresh.
    thanks in advance

    I am just curious if there is a need to run the report during the refresh. Can't the users wait till the refresh is over? I don't think you need to change the POV member in FR Studio. As far as I know, when I user selects a POV member on Workspace and then logs out, the next time he/she logs in, Workspace remembers the latest selection.
    I am not sure if Workspace automatically changes the POV members to their default value (dimension itself) after an Essbase refresh. If it is the case, I know it is annoying but, user might need to select the POV members again. I always try to limit the dimension on POV. I don't the exact term, but I like locking the members down on POV, so the users only have to select limited number of dimension members.
    Hope this helps.

  • Grid POV - restrict choice to "Members from List"

    The report uses a Essbase connection and the version is 11.1.2.1
    In the Grid POV, I had set up "Member from list" option to restrict choice to a few accounts, not the whole list.
    Nevertheless, the entire POV shows up. Users have to navigate the whole tree to find what they need.
    Any idea if this is a known issue or am I missing something? I did a search of support but could not find anything specific..
    Thanks!
    Edited by: user640852 on Sep 3, 2012 6:34 AM

    Each user can setup their User preferences for Financial Reporting.
    In the workspace they would go to File then Preferences then Select Financial Reporting in the Left pane. Then under User Point of view choose setup members.
    The user would have to select the database connection, then they can choose the members for each dimension they want to see when running reports.
    Its a pain to make the users set this up but once it is set it makes running reports easier for them.
    If you were using a Planning Connection, in the same section the user could select the option to only see members in which they have access.

    Hi Prathap,
    Are you using 11.1.2.1 Smart View? If yes, are you getting this issue while refreshing ??
    If that is the case then go with 11.1.2.1.102.

  • Local and global POV mode in FDQM

    hi,
    i am using multiload option in fdqm. what is the difference between local and global POV modes in fdqm?
    your help will be highly appreciated.
    Regards
    Ace

    Global Mode: If this mode is set and the POV is changed in FDM, it will change the POV for all users
    Local Mode: if this mode is set and the POV is changed in FDM, it will only change for the current user making the POV change.
    The Mode will change accordingly when using a mulitload file.
