New Features for Oracle BI EE 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5)

New features in Oracle BI EE 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5) include:

"Custom Width for Prompts"
"BI Composer"
"Enhancements to the KPI Editor"
"Oracle Business Intelligence Mobile"

Custom Width for Prompts

In this release, you can specify the width of each column prompt field. You can set the width when designing an individual prompt or when specifying format options for the prompts page. If you are specifying the prompt width on the prompts page, all prompts display to the width that you specify. You can also specify to wrap column labels on the prompts page.

The prompt field width and wrap prompt labels settings do not apply to the Slider user input type. For information about prompts, see Chapter 6, "Prompting in Dashboards and Analyses."

BI Composer

This release introduces BI Composer, a simple-to-use wizard that allows you to quickly and easily create, edit, and view analyses without the complexities of the "Analysis editor." In this release, it is available only in accessibility mode (that is, it is optimized for use with screen reader applications such as JAWS) so that users with visual impairments can easily create, edit, and view analyses.

Enhancements to the KPI Editor

This release includes the following enhancements to the "KPI editor":

The Thresholds page has been redesigned and renamed the States page. The redesign allows you to specify threshold values as percentages of the target value and to specify the status to assign to a KPI that returns no data.
A new page named Custom Attributes has been added that allows you to create custom columns for the KPI.

Oracle Business Intelligence Mobile

This release introduces Oracle Business Intelligence Mobile, which allows you to view Oracle BI EE content on supported mobile devices such as the Apple iPhone and Apple iPad.
