Follow these three steps to create your report.
There are three steps to create a custom report:
First, you need to define a Data Model to select the data to report on. For this, you’ll use the Data Model Editor.
Next, in step two, you’ll design a Layout to decide how to represent the data visually. Layouts are created either in your browser using the online editor, or offline using the Oracle BI Publisher plugin for Microsoft Office.
Finally, in step three, you can View and Share your report.
Easily create a custom report by modifying a copy of an existing standard report. Follow these steps to copy and reuse the data model and layout of an existing report and edit it as needed. This is much faster than creating the custom report from scratch.
Add button not visible? You’ll need to ask your Organization Administrator to grant you the required access permission. As a minimum, you’ll need the security asset Create new private reports granted to your user role.
Step 1. Create a Data Model to select the data points for the report, such as subject areas, attributes, and filters.
Step 2. Create a Report Layout to design your report using either the:
Online Layout Editor – recommended for most users.
or
Offline Template Builder – for advanced users (requires plugin)
Step 3. View and Share your report. Newly created reports will be listed under the Custom tab of the report listing page and shared with ‘Private’ by default. Private reports are only visible to the user who created them. Use the Share option to share the reports with other users based on your access permissions. You can also edit the data model or layout as needed to refine your report.
The offline Template Builder requires the Oracle BI Publisher plugin to be installed on your computer. It supports Microsoft Office for Windows computers only. If you are unable to use the plugin, you’ll need to use the online editor to design your layout.
Organization Administrators can grant the following assets to provide permission for custom reports. These permission are listed under Insights in Setup > User Role Configuration.
