Analytics Concept
Types of Objects in Analytics
 Data Source
5
 The basic object containing key figures and characteristics, which provides a multidimensional, analytical view of business data. Data sources
are associated with a specified access context or can be unrestricted.
 Report
 A compilation of data for analysis. Reports show values derived from key figures and characteristics in data sources, key figure structures, and
key figure grids.
 Key-Figure
 A field according to which values are selected. Key figures are numeric values that have a unit of measure or currency assigned. Examples
include Invoice Net Value and Purchase Order Quantity.
 Characteristics
 Characteristics of business objects like Sales Order ID or Invoice Description.
 Navigations
 Functions for Analytics in the solution enable you navigate from a source to a target. You can navigate from one report to another or view
documents related to a value in a cell, either in rows or columns, by clicking the value and then choosing an entry from the dropdown list.
