Favorite View Data

The Favorite View Data is designed to use Favorite Views as the starting point for creating or copying data.

  • This functionality is limited Favorite View Data works within one version of M3 DMP, unlike Dataset Data Manager.
  • Favorite View Data can copy between two Pivot sheets (Grids).
  • Favorite View Data can copy from the first period included in the From Favorite View to the first period in the To Favorite View.

    This means if the 2 Favorite Views have different start periods, it gives the opportunity to move data in time.

To run, you must set up these items:

  • Configuration

  • Actions
  • Options
