Detailed agenda

Reporting• Navigating OBIEE• Creating Basic Reports Reports in OBIEE are comprised of several components; a Subject Area to report on, a set of Columns to display, Filters to restrict the report’s point of view and a series of Views determining how the reports will be presented.• Compound Layout The Compound Layout is used to arrange the Views that will be used when OBIEE reports are opened. Many views are available to work with, from simple Table Views through to Gauge and Narrative Views.• Table Views• Pivot Tables• Graphs• Gauge and Narrative Views• View and Column Selectors• Totals, Subtotals and Calculations OBIEE allows you to add your own calculations to reports. This can be done by using automated total and subtotal functionality, by adding customised Calculated Items or by editing existing column formulas to alter their results.• Formula Editing• Layers, Bins and Groupings Bins can be used to combine several columns together, grouping their data. Alternatively, Selection Steps can be used to both filter the values that are displayed as well as combine values into groups.• Conditions and Conditional Formatting• Essbase Flat Measure Columns• Advanced FIltering• Action Links

Dashboards• Options and Prompts

Variables• Understanding Variables Variables are placeholders for values that change. These can be used in report filters and expressions to control what is displayed in a report. OBIEE has several variable types that can be used in order to make your reports more flexible.• Variables Syntax• Session Variables• Repository Variables• Presentation and Request Variables• Variables in Report Filters

Master Detail Reporting• Master Detail Reporting Master Detail Reporting can be used to control all analyses on a dashboard using the results of a single analysis. This can be used to make more responsive dashboards that can be easily updated to show various details.
