Interactive Dashboards provides any knowledge worker with intuitive, interactive access to information that is actionable and dynamically personalized based on the individual's role and identity. In the Oracle BI Dashboard environment, the end user is working with live reports, prompts, charts, tables, pivot tables, graphics, and tickers in a pure Web architecture. The user has full capability for drilling, navigating, modifying, and interacting with these results. Oracle BI Dashboard can also aggregate content from a wide variety of other sources, including the Internet, shared file servers, and document repositories

Answers provide true end user ad hoc capabilities in a pure Web architecture. Users interact with a logical view of the information-completely hidden from data structure complexity while simultaneously preventing runaway queries-and can easily create charts, pivot tables, reports, and visually appealing dashboards, all of which are fully interactive and drillable and can be saved, shared, modified, formatted, or embedded in the user's personalized Oracle BI Dashboard. The results are new levels of business user self-sufficiency in an environment that is fully secure and controlled by IT.
