lesson Objectives

In this module you will be introduced to the reports used during the course maintenance process, including the time schedule report and the course catalog report. These reports are used to verify the data within the course catalog and schedule of classes for the upcoming quarter. The following topics will be covered to provide an overview of the reporting tools:

Understanding the Oracle BI (Business Intelligence) reporting portal
Running the Time Schedule report
Reviewing the Course Catalog report
Processing the Final Exam Scheduling report

As you review this unit's reporting tools, continue to think about how you will use these reports in making updates and verifying changes for the next academic year. Review each of these reports and make any notes for courses that need updating in the course catalog and submit a course webform to make the change. If the edit to be made is for the schedule of classes, keep track of this class and in the next section on Class Scheduling we will review how to submit a class webform.

After reviewing the Lesson Objectives, you will then be able to actively engage with the material through the BI reporting environment, with guided exercises listed below. In addition, please review this week's required readings below.
