BI Reporting

BI Reporting leverages the technology of Oracle BI Publisher to generate “pixel perfect reports." BI Reporting includes the following:

Ability to build, run, and schedule standard reports
Ability to build, run, schedule, edit and delete custom reports
Ability to customize and save standard reports (Add, remove, or change the order of columns in reports. Add custom fields to reports.)
Ability to output reports to different formats, such as:
PDF
RTF
XLS
HTML
Interactive HTML (You can manipulate this report output in much the same way as you would a spreadsheet. More information below.)
User Permissions
History of the last 90 days of report output for the logged-in User. You can save reports to your own hard drive if you need to save them longer than 90 days.
Communication Messages
Ability to give Supervisors access to BI Reporting via My Team
BI Publisher Desktop Add-In (Optional download)
Seventeen standard reports.

You can navigate to BI Reporting from the Reports Control Panel menu. (Note that you may not have all of the options depicted in the example below, depending on when your LearnCenter was activated.)

The following User Permissions are required for this feature:

Manage BI -> View Reports
Manage Control Panel Main -> View Control Panel Home Page

See User Permissions ,Home Page User Permissions, and BI Reporting User Permissions for instructions on granting and denying User Permissions.

When you click BI Reporting, the BI Reporting page opens.

A list of up to 15 reports displays in alphabetical order. This list initially consists of the standard reports, and any custom reports you create. If you have more than 15 reports, a link labeled Load More displays at the bottom of the page. You can click this link to display up to 15 more reports, and again to display 15 more, and so on.

You can filter what displays by using the Narrow Results check boxes, referred to in this feature as "facets", on the left side of the page. For example, perhaps you only want to display Custom Reports. Click Custom Reports to filter out the standard reports. You can also search for a report by name by typing all or part of the name in the box at the top of the page and clicking Search. From there you can narrow the results by using the check boxes on the left side of the page.

The available search result columns are:

Name - the name of the report.
Last Run - displays the date and time the report was last run. Clicking the link opens the report output.
Folder - the folder in which the report resides. All custom reports will go in the My Reports folder.
Status - displays a status of scheduled items.
Action - enables you to schedule, and view history of reports. For custom reports, there is also the option to delete. You cannot delete standard reports.

All of the selections you make on this page are maintained when you navigate away from the page. When you return to the page you will see your last selections, filters, or search terms.
