Self-Service Application Guide for Oracle Billing Insight > Creating and Viewing Analytic Batch Reports >

Use Case: Creating a Batch Report


This use case lets a user create a batch report for the analytic billing and top X reports, and the Service Budget Report. Batch reporting lets users schedule reports to run in a single occurrence or generate a reports regularly over a period of time. Users can choose the report period range, file download file formats, report generation date, and the effective period. The file formats available for downloading a report on-demand are the same types available in batch, plus HTML file format is available for all reports.

In the Business Edition, a report sharing option lets users specify whether the report is private or available publicly. Publicly available reports can be viewed by other users with the same hierarchy privileges. The current hierarchical position context is used for reporting criteria.

Main Path for Creating a Batch Report

The main path occurs when a user clicks Batch Request on an analytic billing, cost management, or top X report page to display the Create Batch Report page.

Alternate Paths for Creating a Batch Report
