About This Guide

This guide contains information about Transactional Business Intelligence subject areas, their associated job and duty roles, and the business questions that they provide answers to. For your reference:

• Subject areas are the building blocks of your analytics and reports based upon them. Analytics are built by choosing an appropriate subject area that has information that answers the business question you’re analyzing. Technically, subject areas are a grouping of information pieces called data objects that relate to each other in a particular context.

• • Job roles inherit duty roles. To control access to the subject areas, copy the predefined job roles associated with the subject area to create custom roles, and assign them to users.

  For more information about custom roles and their use with predefined roles, see Guidance for Assigning Predefined Roles in the Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Securing Applications guide.
