What is OTBI?
Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) is a powerful self-service reporting tool embedded in the Oracle Fusion Applications suite. It allows end users, HR analysts, and managers to create ad-hoc reports and dashboards using real-time data from Oracle Fusion HCM.

Key Features of OTBI:

  • Prebuilt subject areas for various HCM modules.

  • Drag-and-drop interface for analysis creation.

  • Real-time reporting from transactional tables.

  • Easy integration with dashboards and alerts.

  • Secured data access based on roles.

Importance in Fusion HCM:
OTBI is crucial in HCM because HR teams often require up-to-the-minute insights for decision-making. Whether it’s tracking employee turnover, analyzing absence trends, or monitoring performance distribution, OTBI enables on-the-fly, accurate reporting.

Real-Time Use Case:

An HR manager wants to view current employees by department along with their job titles and location. Instead of requesting IT, they can create this report instantly using OTBI subject areas like “Workforce Management – Worker Assignment Real Time.”

Key Terms to Understand:

  • Subject Area: Predefined business domain that contains folders and fields for reporting.

  • Analysis: A report or query created in OTBI.

  • Dashboard: A collection of analyses displayed together for monitoring KPIs.

  • Prompt: A filter added to allow end users to interact with the report.

  • Fact & Dimension: Numerical data and reference data in subject areas.
