Introduction
Oracle Fusion Applications uses the Oracle Business Intelligence platform to provide reports and
analytics. Following are the types of reports.
Operational reports are static reports that meet operational and statutory reporting
requirements. Operational reporting includes the generation of high-volume
business documents such as payroll and invoices. Often generated to record past
activity, usually in tabular format
Analytics (analysis or analytical reports) are visualizations (such as charts and tables)
of a specific set of data. An analysis can be embedded into an application page, or
included as a component of a dashboard. Analyses are generally interactive and
provide ad hoc analysis capabilities to enable the user to customize the presentation
of the data in real time
Dashboards are a collection of reporting components grouped
together to deliver a coherent view of related data. A single dashboard
could be comprised of analyses, reports, and prompts

BI Roles
Business Intelligence roles apply to both Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher (Oracle BI
Publisher) and Oracle Fusion Transactional Business Intelligence. They grant access to Business
Intelligence functionality, such as the ability to run or author reports. Users need one or more of
these roles in addition to the roles that grant access to reports, subject areas, Business
Intelligence catalog folders, and Oracle Fusion data. Business Intelligence roles are defined as
application roles in Oracle Entitlements Server.
