The Oracle Hyperion Interactive reporting product is a highly customizable and powerful business intelligence software product. The software is one of the many products in the Oracle Business Intelligence software suite, an industry-leading business intelligence solution. The product provides users with advanced business intelligence capabilities to efficiently and effectively query, analyze, and disseminate information throughout an enterprise.
Users gain access to the product through the web-based Workspace, the central location for interacting and managing content across all of the Oracle Hyperion products. The tool has two user components, a zero-footprint client and a web
client plug-in for web browsers. While the zero-footprint client has many benefits, users typically prefer the Web Client plug-in due to its easy-to-use, flexibility,
and robust functionality.
This book examines the power of the Interactive Reporting Web Client software, focusing on the key features of each section of the product. The book starts with a quick introduction to the product interface and the EPM Workspace, with explanation of navigating, importing, and provisioning. It then takes you through
a chapter on each section of the product from building a query to building graphical dashboard displays. Reports, Tables, Pivots, and Charts are discussed at length, and an overview of more advanced features including Computed Items, Custom SQL, and Scripting are also included. The book also provides in-depth information on developer topics including building Data Models, creating Meta Topics, and integrating multiple queries into a table in a Report to educate the user on how to identify, build, and modify these advanced features of the product.
