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 highlights where employee absences are most concentrated and uncovers key absence trends across the organization. The dashboard provides a comprehensive view of absence patterns by location, job level, absence type, and time period. It also breaks down the underlying drivers of absences and visualizes critical metrics, such as average absence duration, approval rates, and top absence reasons.

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

Organizations need a clear view of employee absences to manage staffing, productivity, and employee support. This dashboard helps by:

• Tracking absence trends by quarter, making it easier to plan for busy periods and adjust resources.
• Showing which locations and job roles have the most absences, so leaders can spot areas at risk.
• Breaking down the main reasons for absences—like illness or holidays—so HR can create targeted support.
• Combining all absence request statuses (approved, pending, draft, withdrawn, rejected) in one place, helping managers spot delays or issues in the process.
• Giving managers up-to-date information on approval rates and requests that still need action, so they can respond quickly and keep things running smoothly.

With this dashboard, organizations can improve how they manage their teams, respond to issues faster, and support a healthy and productive workplace.
