Oracle Analytics and AI

Modernise the Analytics dashboard look & feel / user experience

NOTE: This is idea relates to BI Dashboards, PLEASE DO NOT post replies relating to Data Viz

Compared to modern / newer analytics platforms, the Oracle Analytics' dashboard user experience is becoming outdated and clunky. The default styling offers little wow-factor when users open up a dashboard. This is a problem not just for existing users but also when demonstrating to potential customers.

Building dashboards with wow-factor now relies too much on the creativity of the dashboard developer to add custom CSS/HTML5 styling - we would like a more engaging user experience delivered by default.

A sample set of images have been attached to this request that show modern looking dashboards from various competitors.

Requirements in this area could include:

auto-hiding dashboard prompts
reduce the amount of whitespace
lose the expand/collapse options (clunky boxes that appear around every visual)
give more layout options (as the current section/pages approach is far too rigid)
deliver more exciting HTML5 visuals/animations
enhance the mobile experience
reduce the amount of clutter in charts, titles etc
dynamic resizing of content (not just fixed to x pixels y pixels)
Reduce the number of screens to navigate when building analyses and/or dashboards
Increase the number of graphs types - especially ones that can show KPI style metrics (e.g. with target values etc)

Use Case and Business Need

Improved user adoption - a more engaging user experience will encourage users to make use of the platform.

Competition - if the Dashboard component is going to remain in its current form then it will fall behind the UX of the competition and users will want to use other tools e.g. PowerBI

Folks, I ran across this thread. Realistically, I don't think we're going to get any updates on classic Answers/Dashboards. Yes, I know there are LOTS of good reasons for classic dashboards, but I'd like to see if anybody has created a "gap analysis" using classic OBIEE dashboards/Answers vs DV canvases as dashboards. This is an evolving area, so what needs to happen to DV to make it truly "usable" as a dashboard? Here, I'll get us started:

1. Canvas maintenance: (explorer-type interface for administering canvases, moving between projects).

2. Sub-canvases (we have sub-dashboards in OBIEE, why not sub-canvases?)

3. Ability to hide canvases (sometimes we develop something and want to hide it, but not lose it).

4. More control over prompt placement (but see SIGNIFICANT enhancement in version 5.7 with filter views)

5. Better support for variables - presentation, session, repository. It's so obtuse how to use these (but see recent video on using variables).

OK, I'll stop there in case this thread is not being followed anymore. Reach me at dvlamis@vlamis.com if you want to collaborate.

Dan this is a good list. We do review the comments and I hope others in the community chime in on what they would like to see in DV to enable more of the classic scenarios.
