When you install Smart View, it will be integrated into all of the Microsoft Ofce products loaded on your PC. If you open Microsoft Word you will see a Hyperion menu item, open Microsoft PowerPoint and you will see a Hyperion menu pick, what the heck, you will even see the Hyperion menu pick in your Microsoft Outlook mail program. Let's say you are meeting with the Finance Director monthly, to show how good or bad the company is doing in the current market. This is never a fun task. Chances are you will create a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. With Smart View, all you need to do is just click to refresh the data every month and you will get the most current data from the Essbase database into your presentation. Let's see how we can do this in Smart View. There are a couple of ways to do it. You can copy the data point from Microsoft Excel and paste it into the Microsoft PowerPoint presentation or just create a new data point in the Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. It's that easy! 1. First, explore how we can do it by copying the Data Points from Microsoft Excel to Microsoft PowerPoint. 2. Select the cell whose data point you want to copy and click on Hyperion | Copy Data Points. 3. Open the Microsoft PowerPoint in the menu item and click on Hyperion | Paste Data Points. You will now see a message on the Microsoft PowerPoint screen saying NEED REFRESH as shown in the following screenshot: This material is copyright and is licensed for the sole use by Paul Corcorran on 5th July 2009 8601 ave. p #1, , lubbock, , 79423 Download at Boykma.Com Appendix [ 407 ] If you look closely at the previous screenshot, you will see the connection detail which tells you all of the information about the members that are chosen for this Data Point. Since your connection is already established in Microsoft Excel, you do not need to reconnect in Microsoft PowerPoint. In order to see the new data, click on Hyperion | Refresh, you will see the data in Microsoft PowerPoint (as seen below) and you are now ready for the meeting. Another way of calling the Essbase data from other Microsoft Ofce products is by using the Smart Tags option. These Smart Tags are turned off by default but you can always turn them on. On the Tools menu, click on the Auto Correct Options, and then click on the Smart Tags tab and select the Label Text with Smart Tags checkbox to enable the Smart Tags. Now that the Smart Tags are enabled, let's modify our Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to show the data by Market. In Microsoft PowerPoint, just enter SmartView and you will see a small i on the top of the Smart View as shown in the following screenshot: This material is copyright and is licensed for the sole use by Paul Corcorran on 5th July 2009 8601 ave. p #1, , lubbock, , 79423 Download at Boykma.Com A New Essbase Companion—Oracle Smart View [ 408 ] Click on the "i" tag and then click on the Functions | Connection Name (Esscar) | HsGetValue option.
