Creating a Point of View (POV)

POVs offer a standard ‘look and feel’ to a group of reports. They are an alternative to using combo boxes within reports. Whether to use POVs is a fundamental design decision that should be taken at an early stage of designing reports.

To create a POV:

  1. Double-click a folder in the Report Catalog.
  2. Select POV Settings in the list of common tasks.
  3. In the POV Setting dialog, click Add a POV or double-click <Add POV> in the Unique name column of the dialog.
    Note: POVs cannot be used in linked reports. See Report links.
