Users – New report feature – toggle PDF and html (Dec 18)

New option to switch

between the two display

formats seamlessly

February 14, 2019 10

Users – Improved display options for users in the browser (Nov 18)

Folder View Flat View


Users – Drill through wholly within Smartview

New sheet

pops up with

the transaction

details – its

fast

We’ve raised enhancement requests for

two things

1. A total

2. Data to come through in number

format not as text


Users – Dashboards into Smartview – Phase 1

Each of the forms that

underpin the dashboard

open in Smartview as a

separate sheet

Forms

DashboardsThis is what the user sees in

the browser – each of the 4

artefacts shown are

associated with a form


Users – Forms now supress zero rows or columns (as well as # missing)

Recently the option to

suppress rows with zeros to

forms (as well as # missing)

This is especially

relevant to

customers using

ASO technology

This is the new

option which can be

used in combination

with either suppress

missing columns or

rowsv

v

v

This is the new

option which can be

used in combination

with either suppress

missing columns or

rows


Admins – Task list now support use of dashboard artefacts

New option to include

Dashboards in Tasks Lists

We continue to recommend use of Task lists for

things like the month end roll over steps

Less relevant for user tasks given how good the

Navigation flow functionality is


Admins - New ASO Functions

Nov

18

@FilterDynamic(Dimension Name, Member

Name)

Removes all dynamic members from the list of members

@FilterShared(Dimension Name, Member

Name)

Removes all shared members from the list of members

@FilterSharedAndDynamic(Dimension Name,

Member Name)

Removes all dynamic and shared

members from the list of members

Jan 19 @List This function can be used in the Point of View of an Aggregate

Storage custom calculation or allocation.

New functions are added from time to time, recent additions are very relevant for those that

utilise ASO Plan Types


Reminder – User preference changes (18 09 → more to come)

Reminder - Adoption of the New Browser Dimension Editor

Some bugs for Oracle to iron out here

Latest advise is during 2019 with at least 2 months notice to be provided

Admin – Defining what periods do and do not calculate

Jan Feb

Volume 10

Price 10

Revenue 100 100

Jan is an Actual

period. The $

100 shown is

sourced from the

GL and should

not be calculated

Feb is the 1st

planning period.

It hence should

be calculated as

shown

Script functions as follows

[[getStartMonth({bvar_Scenario_Select})]]

[[getEndMonth({bvar_Scenario_Select})]]

[[getStartYear({bvar_Scenario_Select})]]

[[getEndYear({bvar_Scenario_Select})]]

Use these dates to define all

aspects

1. Read access v write access

2. What calculates and what does

not

3. Copy Actual into Plan Scenario

range

4. Copy from one plan Scenario

to another

A data map allows us to

convert Smartlist valies into

Dimension which is very

helpful functionality

Oracle have not made

available the ability for

PBCS customers to

seamlessly run Data maps

unless you are a EPBCS in

which case you can do this

using Groovy scripting

We have

therefore come

up with an

innovation to

achieve the

desired result

User Runs Rule

text file

Rule instigates
