Create a pixel-perfect report using BI Publisher

A pixel-perfect report is a highly formatted report that can be sent and scheduled using Oracle BI Publisher. You can access Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Publisher directly from your Oracle Clinical One Analytics portal.

To use Oracle BI Publisher functionality you need specific authoring access to Oracle BI Publisher, which is controlled by global roles and permissions assigned in Oracle Clinical One Platform. These permissions provide you the authoring access you need and allow you to use specific datasets when creating pixel-perfect reports using Oracle BI Publisher. For more information about permissions and datasets, see About your access to Oracle Clinical One Analytics.
