Connection
Pool |
An object in the physical layer of the repository
that contains information about the connection between the Oracle
BI Server and the data source.
|
Dimensions |
Represents the organization of logical columns (attributes)
that belong to a single logical dimension table. Examples of dimensions
are Admit Type, Academic Program, Academic Plan, and Institution.
In dimensions, you can organize attributes into hierarchical levels.
These levels represent your institution reporting requirements.
|
Facts |

(measures or calculated data), such as applicant count or admission
percent, that can be specified in terms of dimensions. For example,
you may want to determine the total number of enrollees for a specific
school and career, for a specific term.

Filters and
Prompts |
Filters are built into requests and are used to
limit the results that appear on a dashboard. A report that appears
on a dashboard shows only those results that match the filter criteria.
Filters are applied on a column-level basis.
Certain filters inherit the values that users specify
in dashboard prompts. A prompt is another kind of filter that can
apply to all items in a dashboard. Some prompts, such as date or period,
can be common to all dashboards. Other prompts, such as admit type,
are unique to a specific dashboard. Prompts are synonymous with parameters.

Answers, Delivers, and Interactive Dashboards User Guide, "Filtering Requests in Oracle BI Answers."
