For ease of reference, the subsequent sections contain excerpts from Oracle® Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11g Release 1 (11.1.1), altered to include specific information related to OHSCE.

Predefined Analyses

OHSCE is delivered with 33 predefined analyses. A subset of these analyses is displayed on your dashboard pages based on the user group you are assigned to.

A analysis can contain data in a tabular format, pivot table, or graph. You can filter the data visible on the analysis based on certain criteria such as medication, dosage, age and so on. These filters are called prompts. Some analyses let you drill down to a more detailed analysis.

Following are some of the analysis-related tasks that you can perform:

• Create and modify analyses.

• Refresh the results.

• Print and Save analyses.

• Add analyses to the briefing book.

• Copy analyses.

   Note:

   Every predefined dashboard page displays the ETL Refresh Date at the bottom of the page. This date indicates the date when the data warehouse was last refreshed.
