Oracle – Taking Advantage of Sample Reports

Hello. My name is Dan. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to 
create an analysis using a sample report from Customer Connect. 
You'll need to go to the Customer Connect website and log in. 
You can find the site at http://ora-fusion-apps.custhelp.com. 
You'll need to register if you don't already have an account.

I've just logged into Customer Connect. Now I'll find the sample 
report to use. I'll search for sample reports that I can use.

One of the many sample reports that are available already on 
Customer Connect may meet my needs. In addition to finding 
individual reports, a consolidated list is published every two 
to three months.

When I find a sample report that interests me, I can see all the 
details of the report. I can also view the report to make sure 
that it's the one I want. In order to use this OTBI sample 
report, I'll need to download it. The download link is located 
below the screenshot of the report. I'm downloading this OTBI 
sample report.

Sample XML.doc link]

Here I'm opening the report in Word and copying the contents to 
the clipboard. Now that I have my sample code, I need to go to 
Business Intelligence in the application. 

[No Audio: User selects Tools, then Reports and Analytics, then 
clicks the New Analysis button]

I'm going to create a new analysis where I'll paste the code. I 
need to select my subject area where I'll be placing this 
report. For subject area, I'll choose human resources workforce 
performance rating distribution. You can choose any subject area 
ending with real time. 

In the advanced tab, I'll need to replace all existing content 
with the analysis code that I copied earlier. Make sure that you 
delete the existing code before pasting the new code. I'll use 
"CTRL-A" to select all existing code and click "Delete" to 
remove it. Then I'll use "CTRL-V" to paste the new content. I'll 
need to apply the XML. 

[No Audio: User clicks the Apply XML button]

After applying the change, wait for the application to respond. 

Now I can save my analysis to "My Folders" or to the "Shared 
Folders" "Custom Folder". If you place the analysis anywhere 
else, it will be lost in the next upgrade. I'll enter the title 
of the analysis. The report is now ready to be used. I can now 
view it from my "Shared Folder". This concludes taking advantage 
of sample reports. Thank you.
