What is the Administrator mode?

The Administrator mode enables a user with the BI Service Administrator application role to perform tasks that apply to all users of Oracle Analytics Day by Day in your organization.

Who can access the Administrator mode?

Only a user with the BI Service Administrator application role can access the Administrator mode.

What tasks can I perform as an administrator in the Administrator mode?

You can:

• Add to the Recommended feed of all the users of Oracle Analytics Day by Day in your organization.

What is the Data Watch service?

The Data Watch service is a service that runs on the Oracle Analytics Cloud server every four hours by default. This service looks for changes in the data and displays the cards that contain the changed data. As an administrator, when you enable this service, all the users of Oracle Analytics Day by Day in your organization can specify the threshold for bring backs. When the data in a card reaches the specified threshold, this service enables the app to retrieve that card and display it in the user’s feed.

The Data Watch service is an experimental feature. Specify the frequency at which this service must scan the server for changes based on the frequency of changes in your data sources.
