8.3 Accessing the Standard Reports and Dashboards

After installing the ALM BI Application, (for more information, see the OFS ALM Installation and Configuration Guide), you will be able to access the standard Dashboards and seeded reports by accessing the OBIEE end user URL and logging in to the application. When you sign-on to the application, you will be directed to your Home Page, which will show basic Summary Reports.

At the top of the window, you will see a drop-box list containing the listing of all of the seeded dashboards that you can select for navigating to the desired location. Within each dashboard, you will see the associated seeded reports, which are typically providing two views, For example, Base Currency and Consolidated Currency.

Depending on the data being processed, one or both views may be relevant.

From the dashboard, you will have the option to Modify any of the reports, or you can choose the option from the top of the page to navigate to the report writer, where you will be able to access all of the seeded reports. You will also be able to access the Presentation Layer from the report writer if you wish to begin creating new reports.
