Manage the BI Catalog Folders

All reports, analyses, and dashboards are stored and managed in the Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) catalog.

The pre-built knowledge dashboards are stored in the BI Catalog under Shared Folders in the Service Folder, and are organized as follows:

  • Subject Area Contents. This folder contains data related to subject areas.

  • Analytics Library: This folder contains generic analytics content which is not role-specific.

  • Embedded Content. The Knowledge dashboards are available in the Knowledge Analyst folder. You can use this folder to view and personalize the prebuilt dashboards.

Navigate to the Catalog

To access the catalog:

  1. Click Tools, Reports and Analysis from the Knowledge Home page.

  2. Click Browse Catalog in the Reports and Analytics page.

    The Catalog folder opens.

Save Analytics to the BI Catalog

Knowledge Managers can save analyses, dashboards, and reports in the BI catalog. The catalog contains a hierarchy of folders that enables you to store objects. You can also create additional folders and add permissions to these folders.

Note: Knowledge Analysts can only view prebuilt dashboards and run reports and analyses that they have access to.
  • Shared Folders. This folder contains prebuilt dashboards and personalized analytics that you have permission to access. All the users with permissions to this folder can view your data. The shared folder contains Custom and Service sub-folders.

  • Custom Folder. This is a sub-folder of the Shared Folders. Save copies of prebuilt dashboards to this folder before editing them.

  • My Folders. This folder contains reports and analyses that you have created. Only you can access the contents of this folder. You can share the contents in this folder by copying and saving the files to the Shared Folders.

To create folders and add permissions to them, use the process described in the Oracle Applications Cloud Creating and Administering Analytics and Reports guide.
