Use Cube View shortcuts to launch other cube views. This is helpful when an administrator wants to use the same cube view but does not want to use the same parameters.
For example, a user can launch a cube view for an Income Statement and be prompted with a ParamView parameter. The ParamView has two values of YTD or Periodic, meaning an Income Statement can be launched to show the data with a Year to Date view or a Periodic view (such as Month to Date).
In this case, a shortcut can be used for save two versions of the same report without prompting the user or having to maintain two cube views. In each case, the shortcut cube view Name would be the same (such as Income Statement), but the literal parameter value would be different. The YTD version would be ParamView = [YTD] and the Periodic version would be ParamView = [Periodic]. Each would open the Income Statement cube view to the proper view settings without prompting the user.
