2 Dashboard
The dashboard is the workspace that opens on login. You can use the dashboard to quickly analyze the health of the business. The dashboard needs to be refreshed periodically as new products, locations, and replenishment-related data are added. This typically happens weekly but depends on your administrator's settings. The measure data of existing products and locations in the dashboard can be refreshed at any time to view updated changes.
Note:
For additional information about the user interface, dashboard, and workspaces, click Application Help from the Help icon on the dashboard.

Figure 2-2 Dashboard Profiles
The information in the metric and exception profiles is summarized in tiles, which can be filtered, for example, on the product, location, or any other hierarchy that makes sense as shown in the following image.

Figure 2-4 Location Filter
The information presented is condensed in the tile metrics, which is also shown in a chart that is broken down into more detail.
In addition, there is the Administration dashboard which provides information about scheduled OAT tasks, or workspace build information. More information about the Administration dashboard can be found in the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server Cloud Edition User Guide.

Setup Exceptions Dashboard
This is the first of the exception profile types available in IPOCS-Lifecycle Allocation and Replenishment. It is relevant to identify merchandise and location with set up issues such as, missing replenishment parameters/methods or supply chain network models.
Figure 2-6 Setup Exceptions Dashboard
The hit count represents the number of products in the subclass and location, within the store group, that are missing set up rules according to the configured business rules.
Exceptions
The information displayed in the tiles is based on exceptions, or business rules defined to check if the replenishment parameters and supply network model are set up for all product and location combinations that are expecting a replenishment plan recommended by IPOCS-Lifecycle Allocation and Replenishment. The exception definitions and expressions are detailed in the Appendix: IPOCS-Lifecycle Allocation and Replenishment Exceptions & Alerts.
Number of Hits Count
The main metric in the tiles is the number of hit counts which are based on the product and location filter settings. If the filter settings range products and locations to a narrower selection than, All Product and All Location, then the number should be reflected in the tile; that is, it should decrease.
Number of Subclass and Store Group
The secondary metric on the tiles displays the number of subclass and districts that are affected. Note that the dimensions are configurable.
Charts
Each tile comes with a set of charts where the hit count information is broken down to lower levels and sorted based on hit count.
Replenishment Exceptions
This is the second of the exception profile types available in IPOCS-Lifecycle Allocation and Replenishment. It is relevant to identify merchandise and location where the suggested replenishment needs the user’s attention. For example, a particular product and location might be in an overstock situation and may need the replenishment plan overriden by the user and a potential review of the replenishment parameters to reduce the overstock.

Exceptions
The information displayed in the tiles is based on exceptions, or business rules defined to identify the outliers that need the replenishment plan recommended by IPOCS-Lifecycle Allocation and Replenishment reviewed. The exception definitions and expressions are detailed in the Appendix: IPOCS-Lifecycle Allocation and Replenishment Exceptions & Alerts.
