Features

You can perform the following tasks for client maintenance:

Reset the Current View Bar

You can reset the current view bar so that for each dimension, the top hierarchical level member displays, which also clears the list of recently accessed members. You reset the current view bar within Interface for Excel by choosing   eTools   Client Options   Clear current view bar  .

Clear Local Application Information

You can clear the files associated with an application from your client. After you perform this procedure, the next time you log on to this Interface for Excel application, you are prompted to complete the Connection Wizard, which allows you to select a server and any authorized application sets. You can clear the files associated with an application from your client by choosing within Interface for Excel   eTools   Client Options   Clear Local Application Information  .

Refresh Dimensions

When you log on to an application set whose structure has changed (there are changes to dimensions and templates stored on the server), the system automatically updates your client information. You can also initiate this procedure manually, which you should do only when instructed by your administrator. You can refresh the dimension information on your client with the dimension and member information saved on the server by choosing within Interface for Excel   eTools   Refresh dimension members  .

Refreshing Templates

You can update the wizard templates on your client with the templates saved on the server by choosing within Interface for Excel   eTools   Client Options   Refresh Dynamic Templates  .

Set Local Folder for Clients

You can set a user-defined working folder on each client machine by choosing within Interface for Excel   eTools   Client Options   Set local folder for Planning and Consolidation  . The default working folder is the My Documents folder of a user.

Member Lookup

You can set options that control behavior on the Member Lookup dialog box (see Member Lookup).
