Oracle Hyperion Smartview Cascade Feature

Do you know about the Smart View Cascade Feature?

 

I recently delivered some training for a client who had been using HFM for many years and one of the key items that they thought would save them time was the  Smart View Cascade feature.

Simply, the cascade feature copies the ad hoc tab and duplicates it with all the connection details etc. and enables you to change any dimension member which appears on the POV. i.e. changing the Scenario or even selecting a bunch of Entity members which makes duplication much faster.

On the Smart View Ad Hoc toolbar you will see the Cascade feature;

Select Cascade within same workbook;

 

Next, select the dimension member you want to replicate, i.e. a different scenario I have selected Budget, but you if desired you could pick multiple members and it will create a tab for each.

 

 

Click OK and it will add a tab for each selected dimension member, and even name the tab accordingly;
