Reports and Analytics
One of the features of Oracle Cloud is its robust transactional reporting capabilities. Oracle provides several tools to create and run transactional reporting directly from the application, without the need for downloading and working with the data locally in Excel. Users must have an account and be logged into Oracle Cloud in order to access transactional reporting.
Note - Oracle reporting is secured using role-based access control, as well as data security controls. A report, or the output produced by a report may not be available due to security or privacy restrictions. To request access to a report, please submit an Oracle Cloud support ticket.
Navigate to the Business Intelligence (BI) Catalog
Both custom developed and Oracle-delivered reports are stored in the Business Intelligence (BI) Catalog within Oracle Cloud. There are two ways to navigate to the Business Intelligence catalog.
1. Click on the Hamburger Icon on the top left corner. Select Tools. Select Reports and Analytics.
2. Alternatively, from the Home screen, click Tools. Click Reports and Analytics.
The following landing page will appear for Reports and Analytics.
Browse for reports in the BI Catalog
On the Reports and Analytics home screen, browse the BI catalog using one of these methods: utilize the breadcrumb-style navigation in the grey bar (just under the Reports and Analytics title) or click Browse Catalog.
Tip - Use the breadcrumb navigation to quickly access reports when you know the folder path of the report. Use the Browse Catalog to directly access the BI Catalog to see what reports are currently available to you.
Oracle reports that are available for campus users are stored under the following folder path - /Shared Folders/Custom/Reports/. Custom developed Oracle reports will have a prefix of "TWU" in their report names
