About Creating Your Own Subject Areas

With CX Sales applications, you get prebuilt analytics that answer typical business questions you might have. But if your questions aren't answered, then you can create your own analytics.

Another case where you will want to create a custom subject area is when you want to report on the custom dynamic choice list fields that you add to standard objects. A dynamic choice list creates a new many-to-one relationship with another object. You will want your analytics to reflect that relationship, but you can't add objects (dimensions) to prebuilt subject areas. In this case, you must add dynamic choice lists to custom subject areas. You can then create a union report in BI that joins the desired prebuilt subject area with your new custom subject area.

You create custom subject areas using a step-by-step train process in Application Composer. For more information, see the Oracle Applications Cloud Configuring Applications Using Application Composer guide.
