Creating Analyses

Use the Data Analysis tool to create and edit your Analyses. The analysis provides you customized view of Analytic View data. An analysis consists of one or more reports that displays the results of analysis.

You can create a Basepay analysis and add content to track your team's pay. You can view the analysis in a pivot view or tabular view or in the form of charts. You can create an analysis that displays these three views.

In this example, you create a new analysis called New_Analysis.

  1. On the Data Analysis home page, click the Create Analysis button.
  2. You can make changes to existing Analyses by adding different values from hierarchies and measures.
  3. The AV name you view on the report represents the AV used to create the report. With a different Analytic View you can create a different report.
    Note

    You must have at least one report to build an analysis.
  4. To edit the existing analysis, In the Analytic View browser, select the objects to analyze in the navigation pane and drag and drop them to the drop area in Columns, Rows or Values and Filters of the Analyze tab.
  5. The report updates based on the artifacts (levels and measures) you select.

The new analysis which contains the updated report will now be visible in the Data Analysis home page for further editing.

Saving Analyses

You can save the personalized settings you made for the Analysis and use them on any other Analyses for future reference.

You won't have to make these decisions manually every time you open the Analyses page if you save these preferences.
  1. Open the analysis for editing from the Data Analysis home page. Select Edit from the Analysis tile you wish to edit.
  2. Click on the Save As icon. Enter a descriptive name for your Analysis.
  3. Click Save.
