Our company has been using Perspectives for a very, very long time and we're reaching that point where we need to push everybody into Planning Analytics for Excel (and getting some push back!). I'm curious if there is a workaround for this complaint in settings that we're not aware of and I can show my fellow finance users - or maybe if there's an enhancement opportunity.
Here's what we usually see in Perspectives. What my team likes is how, in the context area, you can see all of the dimensions and they just wrap into another row in compact drop-down boxes.
The same view in the Planning Analytics viewer:
What the users don't like:
- Not being able to see all of the context dimensions
- The extra clicks required to check what's in all of the context dimensions
- The amount of space the overview area with the context, row, and column dimensions takes up
I've also shown the users the Exploration view in excel, but tend to get the same complaint about the amount of space the overview takes up.
It looks like we can move the overview, but it stays as a horizontal bar in the floating window - is there any way to change it so that the dimensions are stacked?
Thanks in advance for any help!
