Using the Catalog

The catalog stores the objects, such as dashboards and KPIs, that you create using the Oracle BI EE application and, if integrated, these Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher objects: Data models, Reports Style templates and sub template, and Schedules. For information about these objects, see the Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Report Designer's Guide and the Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Administrator's and Developer's Guide. Users have their own folders (My Folders) where they save objects that they created. These objects cannot be accessed by other users. Users can add sub-folders to their My Folders to organize their content in the way that is the most logical to them. Users can also store objects in shared folders where other users or groups can access the objects. You can perform a variety of basic (copy and rename objects, for example) and object-specific (modify a KPI using the KPI editor) tasks from the catalog. For more information on the catalog, see the Oracle® Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition User's Guide 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2).
