Understanding PeopleSoft Insights

PeopleSoft Insights is an analytical engine that provides visual reports (visualizations) in the form of charts, tables, graphs and so on. The visualizations are based on queries that retrieve data from the PeopleSoft Search Framework.

Dashboard administrators use PeopleSoft Insights and the underlying analytics engine to create both dashboards and visualizations. Dashboards objects, which contain one or more visualizations, are imported into PeopleSoft.

Typically, a PeopleSoft user who has the Search Administrator role performs these tasks:

• Imports dashboards.

• Configures dashboards as tiles or related information.

• Specifies user privileges for the dashboard.

  End users access dashboards based on user privileges.

• Deploys dashboards.

Important:

Oracle recommends that you do not modify or edit a delivered dashboard or visualization. You may copy a delivered visualization and then modify it as per your business requirements.
