The Oracle EPM Smart View Ad Hoc Behavior option setting for your application affects which saved ad hoc grids users can open and work with.
When administrators switch the Smart View Ad Hoc Behavior option setting between Native and Standard, ad hoc grids built and saved in one mode cannot be used in the other mode.
For example:
When the Smart View Ad Hoc Behavior option is set to Standard, users can only open and work with saved ad hoc grids that were created while the service was set to Standard. Opening a grid that was created while the service was set to Native mode will result in an error.
When the Smart View Ad Hoc Behavior option is set to Native, users can only open and work with saved ad hoc grids that were created while the service was set to Native. Opening a grid that was created while the service was set to Standard mode will result in an error.

As Native is the default setting, we need to enable Standard mode in the Oracle Cloud EPM application by performing the below steps:
- Login to the Oracle Cloud EPM system on the web

- Scroll down to Smart View Ad Hoc Behavior
- Use the drop down to select Standard mode
- Save your changes
