Settings

Reporting and Analytics settings can be modified to control the flow of information to Taleo Oracle Reporting with Business Intelligence Users.

Configuration

The following settings can be modified by the TEE administrator.

Setting	Description	Path
Activate Row Level Security for Advanced Reporting	Indicates if row level security is activated for the zone. If this setting is activated, row level security will be enforced for advanced reporting for all products in the zone (1=Activate, 0= Deactivate).	Configuration > [Reporting and Analytics] Settings
Show Documentation Folder	Displays the documentation folder in the reporting tool	Configuration > [Reporting and Analytics] Settings
Show Standard Reports Folder	Displays the standard reports folder in the reporting tool	Configuration > [Reporting and Analytics] Settings

Language Settings

The language the user will see for multi lingual data fields is governed by the settings "Use Content Language Preference in Reporting" and "Organization Content Languages".

• If "Use Content Language Preference in Reporting" is enabled then the default language will be the first language designated in the "Content Language" area in the user account preferences.

• If "Use Content Language Preference in Reporting" is disabled then the default language will be the first language designated in the "Organization Content Languages".

Configuration

The following settings can be modified by the TEE administrator.

Setting	Description	Path
Organization Content Languages	Organization's content languages in Reporting and Analytics.	Configuration > [Reporting and Analytics] Settings
Use Content Language Preference in Reporting	Use the first language defined in the user's preferences as the content language in Reporting.	Configuration > [Reporting and Analytics] Settings

Row Level Security

Row level security is administered through a combination of user type permissions and settings.

The setting Activate Row Level Security for Advanced Reporting controls holistically whether reporting users are subject to row level security. If this setting is activated, row level security will be enforced. If this setting is inactive all reporting users will have access to all reportable data available in the system.

Row level security can be overwritten at the user type level by giving the user type the Access all reportable data for Recruiting user type permission.

Recruiting Row Level Security

Reporting users who are subject to row level security for the recruiting content are able to see recruiting data based on the in the user type setting View requisitions in the Recruiting > Requisitions functional domain.

Note: Users that cannot access the recruiting module and are limited by row level security will not be able to report on requisition information regardless of this user type permission.

Performance Management Row Level Security

Row level security is applied in OBI in the same manner it was applied in BusinessObjects. A good rule of thumb for the performance management subject area is that if you have access to data in the performance management module you should be able to access it in reporting.

Oracle BI Administration

Copy/Move Artifacts

Copy/Move Artifacts allows an OBI tenant administrator to copy or move artifacts (folders, analyses, etc) from one tenant (zone) to another, and to delete artifacts.

This feature is designed for ease of use when moving artifacts between production and staging zones.

Actions are performed from the left panel to the right panel, so a folder or artifact selected in the left panel will be moved to the destination folder selected in the right panel. When a folder is moved all items in the folder, including other folders, are moved. The company shared folder cannot be moved, copied, or deleted, but it can be selected as a destination folder.

Objects can only be deleted from the left panel.

When moving artifacts between zones, be cognizant that some artifacts take the parent role and are made up of, or include child artifacts. For example, some analyses may include named filters; alerts can include dashboard pages, analyses or named conditions; dashboard can include analyses, dashboard filters, action menus, etc. The administrator must be mindful to move all child objects with parent objects and some parent object connections to children may need to be reestablished if the integrity of the folder structure for child objects does not remain intact. For example, if a dashboard's child objects are located in my company shared > analyses > dashboard analyses folder, they must be moved to the folder in the same folder path. Parent objects can be moved anywhere.

Artifacts with the same name cannot be included in the same location. For example if zone 1 and zone 2 already have a my company shared > recruiting folder the system will not allow you to overwrite zone 2's recruiting folder with zone 1's recruiting folder. This action can be completed if zone 2's recruiting folder is deleted, or if you copy into a different subdirectory such as my company shared > recruiting2.

If you attempt to copy a folder or file that would be a duplicate an error message will inform you that the action was not completed.

Copying or Moving an Artifact from One Tenant to Another

You must have the BI Tenant Administrator user type permission to perform this action.

You must be logged into a production zone to manage artifacts across zones.

2. Select the destination tenant in the right tenant drop down.

3. Select the artifact to be copied or moved from the left channel, and the destination folder in the right channel.

   The company_shared folder cannot be copied or moved, but it can be selected as a destination folder.

   The artifact cannot be a duplicate of an artifact currently available in the destination folder.

4. Select an action.

   • Click Copy to make a copy of the artifact in the destination folder.

   • Click Move to move the artifact the the destination folder and remove it from the original tenant.

5. Click reset last selection to remove the focus from the selected artifacts, if necessary.

Folder Security

The tenant administrator limit folder access by assigning specific reporting groups access to folders. Reporting groups are defined as user groups that have the Reporting and Analytics coverage area.

Folder security can be assigned to user groups to limit the availability of reports to specific audiences.

If folder security is not set all OBI report users will have access to a folder.

Home > Configuration > [Reporting and Analytics] Oracle BI Administration > [Folder Security] Edit
