Modifying POV

Report Header

The report header displays:

  • Report Name
  • Entity
  • Time Series
  • Column and row labels

When you generate a report, it opens in HTML format with an editable POV toolbar at the top that you can use to easily modify the POV if you want to change the report output. To change a dimension, click on the blue button for the dimension to open the Member Selection dialog box.

Report Footer

The member selections made in the POV are displayed and printed in the report footer. The footer also displays the date and time that the report was run. This is valuable to people reviewing the report, especially when analysts are making changes to the plan and actuals data is being updated.
