 Chapter Hyperion Financial
Management New Features

This document describes the new features that are included in Hyperion Financial
Management Release 4.0. For information on installation, see the Hyperion Financial
Management Installation Guide. For information on late-breaking developments with
Hyperion Financial Management, refer to the Hyperion Financial Management Readme.
Hyperion Financial Management 4.0 introduces the following five major features:
● A new user interface, standardized for all Hyperion Business Performance Management
Suite products, providing superior end user navigation and taskflow
● Hyperion Smart View™ for Office, which includes a new spreadsheet add-in for Hyperion
Financial Management and Hyperion Planning, and a tighter integration with Microsoft
Office products
● Intercompany Transactions module to capture and match intercompany transactions at the
invoice level
● Web-based Task Automation module to automate and chain together Hyperion Financial
Management tasks such as Load/Extract and Consolidate
● Point of View filtered by security enables users to see only those elements of the Scenario,
Entity, ICP, Account and Custom 1...4 dimensions to which they have access. This feature
makes system navigation easier.
In addition, Hyperion Financial Management 4.0 presents administration and compliance
enhancements as well as Web usability enhancements such as a consolidation progress bar,
document attachment capability, expanded workspaces, and new features for Web Data Entry
forms.

New User Interface

Hyperion Financial Management 4.0 introduces a new Web user interface. The new design
enables the administrator to tailor the interface to more closely match how an end user
interacts with the system, enabling easier navigation and customization.

Page Layout
The new home page is divided into three main areas:
● View Pane

Hyperion Financial Management New Features 1

 ● Masthead window and top bar menu
● Main window

Figure 1 Sample of New User Interface

The above example shows the home page as it is displayed for an Advanced user. The
Advanced user can switch between Advanced and Basic modes by using the menu option in the
masthead area. The Basic user can select from a choice of workspaces in the Project View, or
select tasks from a drop-down list. The masthead is the top level area that includes the
application name as well as the Hyperion logo and product name. The main window shows the
detail of the task or document that you selected from either the View Pane or the drop-down
list.

View Pane
The View Pane is displayed in the left panel of the Hyperion Financial Management Web page.
You can minimize or enlarge it as needed. The View Pane window can display a Project View or
Browser View, depending on the selected option. The Project View lists the collection of
workspaces for each user. You can expand each workspace to show the items that make up the
workspace. The Browser View lists all documents and tasks within the application that the user
is allowed to access. The Browser View is a split pane. The bottom pane reflects the contents of
the item selected in the top pane. You can double-click parent items displayed in the bottom
pane to expand them. You can select child items, for example, document names, or tasks, with
a single click, which displays the item in the main window.

Top Menu
The new user interface provides a general top bar menu for File, View, Administration, and
Help options.

2 Hyperion Financial Management New Features

 The menu tasks are contextual. On the Logon page, you can select from the following menu
items:
● File: After you log on to an application, the File menu enables you to create new documents
as well as change user preferences, change applications, and other administrative tasks, and
log out of the application.
● View (Masthead/Pane): Enables you to show or hide components of the window. To
increase the amount of space available to a task window, you can hide both the Masthead
and the View Pane.
● Administration: Enables direct access to all administrative tasks, including Managing
Documents, Managing Workspaces, Managing Favorites, and audit tasks.
● Help: Provides access to help on the selected content and to the Hyperion Internet Web site
(www.hyperion.com).
For more information, see the Hyperion Financial Management User’s or Administrator’s Guide.

Hyperion Smart View for Office

Hyperion Smart View for Office provides the framework to integrate Microsoft Office

4 Hyperion Financial Management New Features

Intercompany Transactions Module
Hyperion Financial Management 4.0 provides a complete Intercompany Matching solution
including the ability to track, match, and monitor Intercompany balances at a transaction level.
This helps you avoid double maintenance and data transfer. It provides you with an efficient
way to identify, report, and reconcile Intercompany account differences.
The key features of the Intercompany Transactions module include:
● Ability to capture the Intercompany transaction details at the invoice level.
● Ability to match the transactions at the invoice level.
● Ability to match the transactions in the Transaction Currency as well as the Reporting or
Parent currency or through translation-on-the-fly.
● Ability to drill down from the existing Intercompany Matching Report (account balance
level) to the transaction detail level.
● Ability to view an entity’s partner’s intercompany transaction details with the entity at any
time.
● Ability to enter text comments at any level of matching to help resolve mismatching.
● Ability to analyze differences due to real errors in transaction currency or differences due to
exchange rates.
For more information, see the Hyperion Financial Management User’s or Administrator’s Guide.

Figure 2 Sample Intercompany Transactions Window

Intercompany Transactions Module 5

Task Automation
Task Automation is a new Web-based module that provides you with a method for chaining
together a series of tasks into a taskflow. You can use Task Automation to automate tasks that
you commonly perform using Hyperion Financial Management.
When you work with Hyperion Financial Management, you routinely perform tasks such as
loading data, running calculations and translations, consolidating parent entities and
extracting data through data extract or extended analytics. A taskflow is a sequence of tasks
that you can create in Task Automation. Any user defined with the Task Automation role can
access, create and maintain taskflows to perform required Hyperion Financial Management
operations.
The following Hyperion Financial Management activities are available in Task Automation:
● Allocate
● Calculate
● Translate
● Consolidate
● Calculate contribution
● Load Journals
● Extract Journals
● Load Data
● Extract Data
● Execute Journal Action
● Extended Analytics
For more information, see the Hyperion Financial Management User’s Guide.

Point of View Filtered by Security

Hyperion Financial Management introduces metadata filtering based on security in the Point
of View and in Web data grids. Filtering the display of metadata facilitates navigation in large
applications and enables you to keep certain metadata information confidential.
There are two new application attributes to activate this feature:
● EnableMetadataSecurityFiltering
● EnableICPfiltering
The following dimensions are applicable for security filtering based on the security class
assigned to each member: Scenario, Entity, Account, and C1 to C4. The metadata filtering on
the ICP dimension cannot be based on the security classes applied to the ICP members because
the ICP dimension is a system-generated dimension based on the IsICP attribute set for the
Entity dimension. It is based on the security class assigned to “SecurityasPartner” in the Entity
dimension.

6 Hyperion Financial Management New Features

 Hyperion Financial Management 4.0 introduces a new security right called Metadata that
enables end users to view the metadata members in the hierarchy but with a None access right
regarding the data attached to those members.

Figure 3 Sample Web Point of View

Note that users have implied access to the parent and ancestors of any member to which they
have been granted access. This means that users see those ancestors and parents in a
hierarchical tree structure but are not able to access them.
HFM 4.0 Metadata filtering supports Organization by Period setting. When the Org by Period
setting is specified for the Entity list enumeration, the system checks the Active account value
for the Parent/Child node to determine whether the entity is active for the given
Scenario/Year/Period.
For more information, see the Hyperion Financial Management Administrator’s Guide.

Administration and Compliance Enhancements

The following administration and compliance enhancements have been added in this release.

Consolidation Progress Bar and Running Tasks

The Running Tasks module enables the administrator or the end user to gauge the progress of
Consolidation, Data Loads, or Extended Analytics.

Administration and Compliance Enhancements 7

 For example, when a consolidation starts, the consolidation progress bar is automatically
displayed in a separate window. Information on the Point of View, the user and time are also
available. The consolidation progress bar feature enables you to perform another task while the
consolidation is running without starting a new session.
The Running Tasks module also enables you to stop tasks in progress.
For more information, see the Hyperion Financial Management Administrator’s Guide.

Figure 4 Sample Running Tasks Window

Document Attachments
Hyperion Financial Management 4.0 introduces new compliance updates designed to support
better documentation by end users.
● Document attachments provides the ability to attach documents in Web Data Entry forms,
Web grid cells and in Process Management cells.
● Cell text has the ability to support up to 1900 characters (increased from 256 characters as
supported in HFM 3.5x).
The documents are stored in the database and you can apply security classes to them. You can
load all types of documents into Hyperion Financial Management, for example, Excel
documents (.xls), Word documents (.doc,) text (.txt), and PowerPoint ( .ppt) files.
For more information, see the Hyperion Financial Management User’s Guide.

Web Usability Enhancements

The following Web usability enhancements have been added in this release.

Workspace
Hyperion Financial Management 4.0 introduces new features in the concept of workspaces. A
workspace provides a seamless way for users to interact with Hyperion Financial Management
applications without having to know multiple modules or have extensive knowledge/training
on the system.
The concept of workspaces has been extended to Hyperion Tools and external objects.
Incorporating Hyperion Reports and Analyzer objects in a feature called Related Content
enables you to better group all of the documents that are included within Hyperion Financial
Management and simplifies your process flow.
The ability to include non-Hyperion items also enhances the usability of workspaces and
enables you to create a workspace that covers a total closing cycle.
Two new sections have been added to the Document Manager:
Links - the ability to define URL links in Hyperion Financial Management and to incorporate
them in a workspace or define them as Favorites.

Figure 10 Sample Link in a Workspace

14 Hyperion Financial Management New Features

Related Content - capability to incorporate Hyperion Reports and Hyperion Analyzer items
(single report or folder) within Hyperion Financial Management. To use related content, you
must enable External Authentication for Hyperion Financial Management, Reports and
Analyzer.

Figure 11 Sample Related Content Dialog Box

You define a specific URL in the Hyperion Financial Management Server and Web
configuration utility. After you set up the URL, you can access Hyperion Reports and Analyzer
repositories in the Related Content section in the Document Manager.
Items are saved in Hyperion Financial Management and you can then add them to a
workspace, or launch them separately from the Related Content menu in the View Pane.
For more information, see the Hyperion Financial Management User’s Guide.

Figure 12 Sample Hyperion Reports Related Content

Web Usability Enhancements 15
