Overview of Dashboards and Work Areas for Oracle Fusion Financial Applications

Oracle Fusion Financial Applications embraces the concept of dashboards to bring the work that needs to be done and the information needed to do it to the front and center of each user's attention.

All Oracle Fusion Financials applications deploy dashboards. On a dashboard, work areas display tabulations of the tasks that a given role needs to accomplish. These are updated by incoming work load in real time. In Payables, for example, newly scanned invoices are tabulated for the Payables Specialist to process. In General Ledger, the accounts monitored by the accountant are updated at each journal posting. In Receivables, new invoices and receipts pending further actions are listed for the Billing Specialist and Receivables Specialist to process.

The tabulations are designed to be easily adjusted to suit your needs in several ways and can be modified, prioritized, and even replaced. Portlets to other Oracle and non-Oracle sources can be added.

The work areas monitor processes and provide updates on status. Items awaiting approval, for example, are listed, as are items with issues, such as incomplete invoices and unposted journals. Social tools are available, so that any person who needs to act, such as an approver, can be contacted immediately. The tabulations support searching by example, saved searches, export to spreadsheet, and other actions, so that the work can be moved along without using menus or navigating away from the work area.
