Ad hoc Analysis

You can use ad hoc analysis to investigate data available in Explore and create your own visualizations/dashboards. The reports you create will be saved in the My Reports section for future access.

Currently, ad hoc analysis is available in the Customer Experience Explore. Partner Administrators can also create and share reports with other users by saving the reports in the shared space provided for each partner.

Use the following steps to perform ad hoc analysis on your data:

  1. Select Business Objects you wish to analyze.

Creating and Sharing Custom Reports & Dashboards

After creating the visualization you need, you can save it as a new dashboard/report. Partner Administrators can save the dashboard to the shared space for a partner. The new visualization is now published and now all users for that partner can see the dashboard.
