Subject Areas and Business Questions

This topic describes how business questions form the basis of your subject areas and analytics.

Subject areas are designed around business questions. All analytics are built from subject areas. So whether you're creating your own analytics, or modifying the analytics that come with your Public Sector applications, you first want to figure out what questions you want answered.

Here are some examples of subject areas and the business questions they can answer.
