Logic Behind OBIA Facts

Judith UllmanJul 23 2014 — edited Jul 27 2014

We are implementing OBIA HR, Student Information, Finance, and Procurement Analytics with PeopleSoft as a source.  It seems there are many things that we are expected to know rather than to have them documented.

First we are implementing HR, and only Workforce Deployment, hoping that would be a mature product (we tried the new Student product with too many initial problems).  We have gotten the initial load to run.  The first dashboard has the most important stat: Headcount.  This is central to all of Workforce Deployment, and to HR analytics.

But how is it calculated?  There is no documentation about the logic employed, only a one-sentence definition typed into the Fact property.  Using this definition, we are unable to figure out the headcount we get.

It seems that we are supposed to reverse engineer the ETLs to find out how this works, but that is time consuming and risky (if we don't catch everything) and for a supposedly out-of-the-box solution, should be unnecessary.

I would appreciate any input to help point us in the right direction.
