BI Composer

BI Composer is a simple-to-use wizard that allows you to quickly and easily create, edit, or view analyses without the Analysis editor.

The main components of the BI Composer are as follows:

  • At the top of the wizard is the BI Composer train, which contains buttons for each step in the wizard. For more information, see "Steps for Creating or Editing an Analysis in BI Composer".

  • The panel area, where the components for each step are displayed.

  • To the far right are the Back, Next, Finish, and Cancel buttons.

BI Composer Modes

There are two modes in which BI Composer is available in an application (such as Oracle BI) — regular mode and accessibility mode. Accessibility mode has the same functionality as regular mode but is optimized for use with screen reader applications such as JAWS. It makes it easier for users with visual impairments to create, edit, and view analyses.

BI Composer Availability

When users work with analyses in Oracle BI, BI Composer may be displayed in place of the Analysis editor, depending on the preferences users make as follows:

  • BI Composer is displayed in regular mode in place of the Analysis editor, when users have specified that they want to use the BI Composer wizard as the analysis editor and have turned off accessibility mode in Oracle BI.

  • BI Composer is displayed in accessibility mode in place of the Analysis editor, when users have turned on accessibility mode in Oracle BI EE.

Users specify that they want to use the BI Composer wizard as the analysis editor by selecting the Wizard (limited functionality) option for the Analysis Editor component in the My Account dialog: Preferences tab.
