Key Terms Term Analysis Column Filter Prompt Selection Criteria Results Subject Area Dashboard Dashboard Prompt Query Definition Answers a query against an organization s data. Object that indicates the data that an analysis returns; measure columns contain numeric measures, while the membership of attribute columns are descriptive, and that of hierarchies represent relationships. Mechanism that restricts the result set returned by an analysis. Special kind of filter that restricts the result set returned by an analysis; can be used to populate variables. Mechanism that determines column membership included in an analysis. Set of columns and filters that are specified for an analysis. Output returned from Oracle BI Server for a specified analysis. Logical object that organizes and presents data about a business. Page in a Business Intelligence application that displays content. Filter object that filters all content on a dashboard page and can be used to populate variables. Underlying SQL issued to the Oracle BI Server for the specified analysis.

Hierarchies Are definitions of contained-by or belongs-to relationship of members. Nested levels of these many-to-one relationships Corresponding roll-up of measure values Either level-based or value-based (parent-child) Valuebased hierarchy column Measure column Collapse hierarchy Expand hierarchy Child members indent below their parent.

Creating and Editing Analyses Multiple ways to create or edit analyses in the Analysis Editor. Create or open from the Home page. 1 2
Analysis Editor Provides an area to create, modify, and save analyses, filters, and selections. Save Analysis. Subject Area pane Remove all columns. Catalog pane Create and remove filters on columns from the analysis.
Subject Area and Catalog Panes Access saved analyses and dashboards in the Presentation Catalog Show columns and filters to construct analyses Organize content into presentation folders, dimensions, and columns Attribute column Hierarchical column Measure column Presentation Catalog folders and content
Analysis Editor Tabs Contain on-screen information and buttons to create, access, and manage analyses View or change columns and filters for analyses View or modify results of analyses Create prompts to filter analyses Work directly with XML and SQL generated for an analysis
Working with the Analysis Editor in Oracle Business Intelligence 1. Construct an analysis. 2. Modify analysis criteria. Sorting columns Formulas Style Column format Data format Conditional format Interaction 3. Change column order. 4. Display analysis results. 5. Save an analysis.
1. Construct an Analysis Select columns from subject area folders in the Subject Areas pane to create analysis criteria. 2 Add Columns button 1 More Options button Remove all Columns from Criteria button 4 Attribute columns Analysis criteria are displayed in the Selected Columns pane. Hierarchical columns 3 Measure columns
2. Modify Analysis Criteria Click the More Options button to modify analysis criteria using the following options: Hierarchical column Determine sort order Add a new function (such as ranking or moving averages) Edit column properties to control appearance and behavior Limit data that appears in a column Remove column from analysis Edit level properties to control appearance and behavior
2. Modify Analysis Criteria (Sorting Columns) Use the Sort button to choose a sort order for the desired column Select the appropriate option to set the sort order: Primary ascending column sort This column sort occurs after the primary sort. Choose a sort option for the desired columns in your analysis. This column sort occurs after the secondary sort and in descending sequence.
2. Modify Analysis Criteria (Formulas) Use complex formulas in your analyses: Operators, functions, filters, variables Select a function to add it to the column formula. Select columns from the subject area. Select or create filters. Calculatio n Builder Select or create variables.
2. Modify Analysis Criteria (Style) Override formatting and style defaults for: Font, cell (including alignment), border, style sheets Point to custom style sheets. Save as column or data type default.
2. Modify Analysis Criteria (Column Format) Override formatting defaults for: Column visibility, headings, data duplication, interaction 1 2 3
2. Modify Analysis Criteria (Data Format) Override the way data is displayed based on the data type. Text data: Treat as plain text, HTML, link, and so on Numeric data: Treat as number, percentage, currency, and so on
2. Modify Analysis Criteria (Conditional Format) Direct attention to a data element that meets a certain Click condition. Add Condition for each condition. Specify an operator and a value to create a condition. Use a Presentation variable Specify a style for data meeting the condition. Select an image to display.
2. Modify Analysis Criteria (Interaction) Specify behavior when a user drills on a column heading or a data value. Default is to drill to the next level in a hierarchy. Reset defaults for a column. Set an action to navigate to another saved analysis.
3. Change Column Order Drag columns to change column order. Drag a column to another location to reorder the columns.
4. Display Analysis Results Click the Results tab to see the results of an analysis. An analysis can be displayed in many formats. Select additional views.
4. Display Analysis Results Data is automatically sorted by the first column and then sorted by the second column. Sorting can be specified by the user. Repeating values are suppressed by default. Default can be overridden by the user. Click Click to see the next group or row. to see all rows.
5. Save An Analysis Click the Save Analysis button in the toolbar. New Folder 1 2 3
Advanced Formatting Saving column settings as systemwide defaults Copying and pasting formatting attributes Using a saved analysis as a style template Using custom date-format strings
Saving Column Settings as Systemwide Defaults Settings on column properties tabs can be saved as systemwide defaults: Save defaults for particular columns or data types. User must have appropriate permissions to save. Subsequent users see new default settings. Save as defaults for data type. Save as defaults for column.
Copying and Pasting Formatting Attributes Copy a range of formatting attributes that are applied to an object and then paste them to an object of the same type: This is supported for rows, columns, and table cells in table, pivot table, and chart views. Restore defaults Copy Paste
Using a Saved Analysis as a Style Template Use a customized saved analysis as a cosmetic style template. Apply formatting from template to new or existing analyses. Supported in table, pivot table, and chart views 1 2
Customized Date and Time Format Strings Provide additional options for formatting columns that contain time stamps, dates, and times Examples of general customized format strings: Term Result Example [FMT:dateShort] [FMT:dateLong] Formats date in locale s short-date format. Formats date in locale s long-date format. 2/3/2008 Monday, February 3, 2008 [FMT:time] Formats time in locale s time format. 12:00:00 AM [FMT:timeHourMin] Formats time in locale s time format but omits seconds. 12:00 AM
