About Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence

Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence helps you quickly uncover business insights and make more informed business decisions.

Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence helps you query your business data and create analyses to answer your business questions. You can present data in easy-to-understand formats (such as tables and graphs), create dashboards, and share the results of analyses.

About Reports and Dashboards

You use analyses, projects, and dashboards to find the answers that you need from key business data displayed in graphical formats.

An analysis is a query against your organization's data that provides you with answers to business questions. Analyses enable you to explore and interact with information visually in tables, graphs, pivot tables, and other data views. You can also save, organize, and share the results of analyses with others.

A project enables you to dynamically explore multiple datasets in graphical way, all within a single interface. You can upload data from many commonly used data sources to create robust sets of information within project visualizations.

Dashboards can include multiple analyses to give you a complete and consistent view of your company’s information across all departments and operational data sources. Dashboards provide you with personalized views of information in the form of one or more pages, with each page identified with a tab at the top. Dashboard pages display anything that you have access to or that you can open with a web browser including analyses results, images, text, links to websites and documents, and embedded content such as web pages or documents.

When you embed an analysis in a dashboard, the analysis automatically displays the most current data every time you access the dashboard. For example, if you're a sales executive whose company captures sales data on a daily basis, then you can have the dollar volume by product sold today displayed when you open or run the dashboard.
