Create and Edit Analytics

Create and edit analytics to provide real-time reporting on your transactional data. You can:

• Create an analysis. You may, for instance, want to track overdue assessments. Your analysis includes assessment name, state, and due date. It filters records to exclude completed assessments and include those with due dates earlier than the present date. An analysis may present information in a table, graphically, or both.

• Create a dashboard. You may, for example, group the overdue-assessment analysis together with other analyses that display other information about assessments.

• Use predefined dashboards, which display predefined analyses.

Analytics display data retrieved from subject areas, which are logical groupings of columns that store individual data points.

You may use the BI catalog to create either an analysis or a dashboard. For an analysis, however, you can use a wizard available in the Reports and Analytics pane.
