Audience

Getting Started with Oracle Analytics Cloud is intended for consumers, analysts, and administrators using Oracle Analytics Cloud for the first time.

• Administrators create services, manage access to Oracle Analytics Cloud and perform other administrative duties such as backing up and restoring information for others.

• Analysts load data, model data, visualize data, and create reports for consumers. Data integration options range from self-service import to operational ETL updates. Analysts can select interactive visualizations and create advanced calculations to reveal insights in the data.

• Consumers customize dashboard pages and work with their favorite reports and data visualizations. Dashboards allow consumers to quickly analyze and manage activity across their system.

Diversity and Inclusion

Oracle is fully committed to diversity and inclusion. Oracle respects and values having a diverse workforce that increases thought leadership and innovation. As part of our initiative to build a more inclusive culture that positively impacts our employees, customers, and partners, we are working to remove insensitive terms from our products and documentation. We are also mindful of the necessity to maintain compatibility with our customers' existing technologies and the need to ensure continuity of service as Oracle's offerings and industry standards evolve. Because of these technical constraints, our effort to remove insensitive terms is ongoing and will take time and external cooperation.
