Create a report with Analytics Q&A

Enter a question on the Report Designer form, and Analytics Q&A generates a report. Analytics Q&A gives you a choice of data sources and picks an appropriate visualization.

Before you begin

Analytics Q&A requires Natural Language Query (NLQ).

NLQ also must be enabled for use with the Report Designer, in Reporting properties. Check with your administrator.

Note: This topic refers to Reporting in the Core UI. For more information, see Data visualizations in Platform Analytics.

Analytics Q&A is not available when using Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Role required: itil, report_user, report_group, report_global, report_admin, or admin. To create a meaningful report, you must have the right to access the data you want to report on. To create Core UI reports in the Australia release, the system property com.snc.par.coreui.report_create.enabled must be set to true.

About this task

Analytics Q&A supports the following languages:

• English
• French
• Canadian French
• Spanish
• German
• Japanese

The feature is not available in sessions that use an unsupported language.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Platform Analytics > Library > Data Visualizations and select Create data visualization.

2. In the modal, select Core UI.

3. Start typing the information you want in the report into the Analytics Q&A field.

   Analytics Q&A uses keywords in your query to determine what kind of information you are looking for. It displays suggestions while you type based on these keywords. To see a full list of keywords and their uses, click How can I improve my results.

4. Select Ask.

   Analytics Q&A generates the report, including an appropriate visualization.

What to do next

You can modify the report, such as changing the visualization type, in the left-margin menu. If you enter a new query and select Ask, you generate a new report. Any custom visualizations you added are cleared, but other settings persist in the new report.

Report options

When you edit a form, you can also choose to save, share, run, delete, or view more information about the report.

Note:

On net new Australia instances and instances migrated to Platform Analytics experience, Reporting functionality is replaced with Data Visualizations. For more information, see Data visualizations in Platform Analytics.

All actions are available from the upper right side of the form, from the Save and Share lists and the Info, Delete, and Run buttons. Available report options vary depending on the role of the user working with the report.
