Expand OAC DV Scheduling Capabilities with Selection of Parameters at Run time

Problem Statement

Users want to schedule reports with different parameter values.
Currently, scheduling requires Edit/Save privileges on workbooks.
Granting “Create/Edit Workbooks” privilege is not acceptable, as it allows users to create new workbooks on any dataset.

Gap Identified

Users can change parameters while running reports, but cannot change them while scheduling.
Workarounds (copying to Personal Folders, granting edit rights) introduce governance risks and are not aligned with customer requirements.

Reference Point

OAC Classic Agents supported parameter selection during scheduling, enabling flexible self‑service without requiring workbook edit rights.

Proposed Enhancement

Allow users to choose parameter values directly in the scheduling interface, independent of workbook edit/save privileges.
This ensures flexibility in scheduling while maintaining governance and restricting workbook creation.

Business Impact

Empowers users with true self‑service scheduling.
Reduces administrative overhead and avoids unnecessary privilege escalation.
Aligns with customer expectations for parity with OAC Classic functionality.

This indeed a good feature, which multiple clients are requesting in OAC and even in FDI. Prod Dev team can you please consider this idea. This will add a good value addition to the product both OAC and FDI.

This should be a critical enhancement - only allowing scheduling of the saved state of the workbook (if a consumer has no author privileges) is extremely limiting. Consumers should be able to schedule a workbook state for delivery, if not able to set parameter values at run time.

This should be considered a critical enhancement. Restricting scheduling to only the saved state of a workbook when a consumer does not have author privileges is extremely limiting.

Consumers should be able to schedule delivery of a workbook using a selected workbook state. Even if they are not permitted to modify parameter values at runtime, they should still be able to choose from existing saved workbook states when configuring scheduled deliveries.

This capability would significantly improve usability while maintaining appropriate permission boundaries between authors and consumers.

Enable Submission and Review of AI-Generated OAC Custom Visualizations
With the OAC Visualization AI Skill, users can potentially extend existing custom visualizations and address limitations encountered in real-world use cases. As an example, we used the AI Skill to enhance the OracleVectorMapsH3 visualization from approximately 10,000 data points to a version supporting up to 50,000 data…
Enhance Redwood Purchase Requisition to Allow Additional Fields in Header/Lines and Excel Export
Currently, the Purchase Requisition Redwood page provides an option to export Purchase Requisition information. However, business users also require the ability to include additional downstream transaction information in the same export. We request an enhancement to make the Redwood Purchase Requisition Header and Line…
Learning paths and skills tracking for Oracle Analytics authors
When new analysts join, getting them confident in OAC takes a lot of hand-holding. The learning content exists, but it's scattered and none of it lives inside the tool. Managers also have no easy way to see who's ready to build and share content. It would be great to have: A "Learn" panel in OAC with short guided paths by…
Automatic small number suppression in visualisations
Add a workbook or dataset setting that automatically hides or rounds values below a set threshold, for example counts under 5, across all visualisations. Suppressed values would show as "<5" or "*". It should also stop the hidden number being worked out from totals or subtotals, sometimes called secondary suppression.…
Accessibility checker for workbooks before sharing
Add an accessibility check to Data Visualization workbooks, similar to the one in Office, that runs before you share or publish. It would flag: Low colour contrast between text, data labels and backgrounds Palettes that aren't colour-blind safe, with a suggested alternative Visualisations with no title or alt text for…
