Using the Activity Report

The Activity Report enables Service Administrators to gain deep insights into application usage and associated user experience. By highlighting user requests, calculation scripts, forms, reports, and more, it helps optimize and streamline application design for better performance and efficiency.

Key Benefits

The Activity Report helps you:

• Understand application usage by displaying detailed trends in user behavior and system activity.
• Improve user experience by identifying operations or requests that impact performance.
• Spot optimization opportunities by revealing inefficiencies in usage patterns.
• Investigate issues quickly using high-level graphs and detailed tabular reports.
• Track changes over time to see how updates affect performance and user behavior.

To fully leverage your Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management or Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud environments, combine the Activity Report and other tools to identify trends, troubleshoot issues, and drive continuous improvement.
