Narrative Reporting Assistant

Narrative Reporting Assistant is now available as an importable agent that integrates with Fusion AI Studio to provide a chat-based experience for discovering Narrative Reporting artifacts and seeking answers about a selected report’s data (report interrogation). This feature is available only to Fusion customers; it isn’t available to EPM customers without Fusion Cloud subscriptions.

With the Narrative Reporting Assistant, you can:

  • Search and browse Narrative Reporting Library artifacts through chat, including Reports, Report Packages, and Bursting Definitions. The agent retrieves lists that match your search criteria, based on artifact name and description. 
  • Select a report and ask questions about its results, such as summarizing or analyzing the report output. Report interrogation uses the report in context for follow-up questions. Analysis is currently limited to the first grid in the report, including hidden first grids.
  • Refresh data sources for a Report Package. The agent refreshes a specific data source by name or refreshes all data sources within the selected Report Package. The refresh is executed as a Job Scheduler job.
  • Run a Bursting Definition by submitting a Job Scheduler job. The job status and results are viewed in the Jobs interface through links returned in chat.

Business Benefit: The new Narrative Reporting Assistant helps you quickly find information through chat, summarize report results without manual data hunting, and streamline common operational tasks, such as refreshing Report Package data sources or running Bursting Definitions with less context switching.
