Working with Data

To work with data in the Cloud, you need to set up an application, model, and dimensions and then load your data.

Once that is done, you can access the application data using Oracle Smart View for Office’s Narrative Reporting data source.

You can also work with Smart View to access data in an existing on-premise Enterprise Performance Management or Business Intelligence product such as Planning, or Oracle Essbase as well as other Cloud services that Smart View supports such as Planning. This method does not require an Narrative Reporting application to be set up.

Both methods of working with data allow you to perform interactive analysis and easily refresh updated data into a report package. See Learn About Smart View and Example: Work with Narrative Reporting data in Smart View.
