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 are associated with duty roles, and together control access to subject areas.
