BI Queries

Business Intelligence (BI) queries are custom dashboards with interactive charts, gauges, and tables that are built using real-time data directly from the CMiC system. In addition to providing the same or similar functionality provided in the standard logs and queries, they also provide features such as subtotals, groupings, pivots and drill-downs.

The GL module contains the following BI queries:

The following sections describe each of these queries and how they are used. Queries will be modifiable or display-only, depending on the user’s security privileges.

NOTE: Administrators must assign BI queries to the appropriate security roles. Only users who have been assigned these security roles will be able to view/edit the BI query. Security can be assigned using the Assign Roles to BI Dashboard screen or using the BI Analytics tool where mass security updates can be carried out.

For more information on working with BI queries, please refer to the BI Query Builder.
