Before you Begin

This tutorial shows you how to create a presentation flow using Present's Auto mode in Oracle Analytics.

Background

In an Oracle Analytics workbook, you create visualizations using charts, maps, graphs, and other graphical representations to aid end users in understanding the complex data. In Present, you can tell a story by setting workbook and canvas properties, specifying interactivity, and arranging the canvases to curate the end users' experience. You use a presentation flow to specify how your end users move from one canvas to the next.

In this tutorial, you use Auto mode to learn what you can do in Present. Oracle Analytics maintains synchronicity between the Visualize canvases and the canvases in Present when you use Auto mode. As a result, you must rename and rearrange the canvases in Visualize or in Manual mode .

What Do You Need?

• Access to Oracle Analytics
• Access to the Sales and Profit workbook created in the Create Workbook Canvases and Visualizations in Oracle Analytics tutorial or a workbook with multiple canvases and visualizations
