Subject Area Guidelines

As you select subject areas for analyses, keep the following guidelines in mind:

  • In several subject areas:

    • You'll find dimensions called Inaccessible Records and Unassigned Perspectives. If you create an analysis based on either dimension, be sure you don't combine it with any other dimension. In fact, rather than create analyses that use these dimensions, you can get the same information from predefined analyses in the Risk Management Administration folders of the BI catalog (see Use Predefined Dashboards).

    • You'll find a Day Name attribute in the Time dimension. When queried with another dimension or fact, its value is displayed as a number.

  • In the Risk Management Cloud - Assessment Results Real Time subject area, an Assessment Results folder contains Assessment Result Details and Control Test Plan Results subfolders. These should not be reported with any fact other than Facts - Assessment Results.

  • In the Risk Management Cloud - Compliance Real Time subject area:

    • Assessment Details should not be reported along with Facts - Issue.

    • Facts - Remediation should be reported only along with the following dimensions: Issue Details, Time, and Fiscal Calendar.

    • Risk Analysis should not be reported with any fact other than Fact - Risk.

    • Process Action Item Details should not be reported with any fact other than Fact - Process.

    • Remediation Plan Details and Remediation Task Details should not be reported with any fact other than Fact - Remediation.

    • Fact - Remediation should be reported only along with the following dimensions: Remediation Task, Remediation Plan, Issue Details, Time, and Fiscal Calendar.

    • Remediation Task dimension should not be reported with any dimension or fact other than Issue, Time, Fiscal Calendar, Remediation Plan, Remediation Fact, and Issue Fact.

    • Process and Control related to a risk are displayed only when queried with Process Fact and Control Fact.

    • Process and Risk are joined through the Control Fact. To see only Process and Risk in an analysis (without Control), you must add a metric from the risk fact. (You can hide it in the analysis.)

    • Don't combine Perspective dimension and Survey Facts Results.
