Fusion Analytics – Using Button Bar Viz in Workbook

Anitha Ramarao-Oracle

Oracle Fusion Analytics (Fusion Analytics), a part of the Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence Platform, is a family of prebuilt, cloud-native analytics applications for Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications that provide ready-to-use insights to help improve decision-making. It’s extensible and customizable, allowing customers to ingest data and expand the base semantic model with additional content.

In addition to the pre-built content FDI offers in each pillar, we have an ongoing effort to provide more reusable artifacts for FDI which is described in this blog.

In this post we are sharing a reusable workbook that covers Gender Diversity from different dimensions and also the usage of Button Bar viz for the development of more interactive workbooks.

NOTE: If you experience any issues importing this workbook or running it, it may be likely that your environment is on a version of FDI and/or OAC that is lower than the version used for developing this workbook. Update/upgrade timings are dependent on the data center your instance is in. We recommend waiting until your instance is upgraded to the latest version before importing and using this workbook.

Business Use Case
The workbook showcases the Male Vs Female Diversity based on various dimensions like Country, Performance, Age etc., While the workbook itself is a simple business use case targeting the Line Managers and the Analysts to examine the Gender Diversity within their Organization from different perspective – it adds more value by providing these guidelines / benefits for better FDI adoption:
- Innovative and interactive workbooks using the new Button Bar visualization.
- Use FDI as one-stop reporting platform to navigate through various FDI and non-FDI artifacts seamlessly.
- Creating landing page which makes it convenient for Business Users to navigate across various artifacts without going over the catalog and such interface.

The overall purpose is to help design more innovative workbooks to transform the reporting styles and to help in better adoption of the Fusion Data Intelligence as one-reporting platform across the Organization. You can develop application like interface within FDI to get seamless navigation experience and flexibility in knitting together various resources using FDI as single reporting platform.

Pre-Requisites:
Nothing specific, this is based on the HCM – Workforce Core subject area and anyone using the FDI HCM Pillar should be able to use this play this workbook just by importing into the instance.
