Limitations for Using Ask Oracle in Reports

Ask Oracle currently has the following limitations:

  • You can use Ask Oracle only when Generative AI settings are enabled.
  • Report chat is supported only in HTML Preview and is not available in PDF Preview.
  • You can analyze report grids only. Ask Oracle does not support other report objects.
  • Responses are based on the data available in the selected report grid and current report context. Ask Oracle does not retrieve data outside the active report context.
  • You can use report chat with report previews and snapshot reports. You cannot use report chat with books, bursting, or report packages. Also, hidden grids can appear in the grid context selector.
  • Ask Oracle stores chat history only for the current session. It does not retain chat history after you log out or your session ends.
  • While Ask Oracle processes a request, you cannot submit another question or change the selected context.
  • You can analyze the top or bottom contributors in supported report grids. You cannot combine top and bottom analysis, perform some multidimensional comparisons, or submit nested analysis requests.
  • The top contributors are sorted in descending order, and bottom contributors are sorted in ascending order. You cannot change the ranking direction.
  • The generated analysis grids do not support conditional formatting.
  • You should verify the generated contributor set and ranking as the contributor requests use dynamic analysis, even when the relevant rows appear in the selected grid.
  • You can add up to five generated analysis grids to a report. Source grids do not count toward this limit.
  • Identify the generated analysis grids by their grid name and position in the report as they do not have a distinct visible label.
