Power Business Intelligence (BI) provides real time analytics and ad-hoc report generation capabilities to the user, through a configurable option of providing the Advanced Analytics tile on the Dashboard as an additional entity, with the access controlled through Privileges defined in Security Groups. This is a configurable option that can be turned On/Off. It allows you to gain insights by slicing and dicing data to generate reports quickly, so that you can take necessary action. Using this tile, you can:
As a User, you can:
As an Administrator, you can:
While creating reports, users with access to Power BI dashboards will now be able to see BusinessAppType filter in the agreement data model. Since the create report functionality is common to sourcing and contracting, using this filter allows users to create reports for either.
Using the BusinessAppType filter:
Go to Advanced Analytics > Create Report. Select a dataset, for example, Agreement. The BusinessAppType filter will be visible in the Agreement data type.
Note: Users will be able to see an application (such as Sourcing) in the filter only if it is enabled in ICI.
To view reports:
1.Click the Advanced Analytics tile on the Dashboard. This opens the Advanced Analytics page.
2.Click a report that you created on the My Reports section. You can edit this report. For example, clicking the PowerBI_UserReport in the My Reports section opens it in Power BI as shown in the screenshot below.
3.Click a report on the Global Reports section to view a global report. Access to these reports is provided by the Administrator through Security Groups. For example, clicking the Power BI Report Contract Type in the Global Reports section opens it in Power BI as shown in the screenshot below.
Note: By hovering over a global report, you can view who has created it. If you are not a Primary Owner, you can only view a report but not edit it.
To create a Report:
1. Click the Advanced Analytics tile on the Dashboard. This opens the Advanced Analytics page.
2. Click the Create Report tile. The available datasets will be displayed.

Note: The Agreements, Clauses, Obligations & Fulfillments and Templates displayed in the Fields window are based on user authorization i.e. you can only see entities that you have permission to view.
6. Click File > Save as to save and generate the report. A window opens so that you can enter a name for the report.
7. Name the report and click Save.
The saved report will appear in the Privileges section of theSecurity Group Details page. If you have Manage access to this report, then you will be able to view and access this report on the ICI user interface in the My Reports section of Advanced Analytics tile.
To Ask a Question:
1. Click the Advanced Analytics tile on the Dashboard. This opens the Advanced Analytics page.
2. Click the Ask a Question tile. The available datasets will be displayed on the AskQuestion page.
3.Click the desired dataset. For example, Clause. The Power BI user interface opens.
4. Click the Ask a Question tile to ask a question about your data. This is also a configurable option that can be turned On/Off.
5. You can now ask a question about your data for the selected dataset (that is Clause). Data related to the Clause will be displayed. For example, clause agreements, date hierarchy, etc.
6. Select the option that you want information about. For example, if you select clause agreements, the available Clause Agreements that you are authorized to view will be displayed in a drop-down menu filtered based on the type ahead functionality.
7. Select an option from the drop-down list. For example, clause agreements by Business Status Expired and Expiry Date. So, based on your question, the Expired Clause Agreements with their Expiry Date will be displayed.
This displays the count at the bottom center of the window.
• You can also view the Agreements by pie chart, table, matrix, and so on.
With the 7.9 release, in an effort to improve advanced analytics usability, additional functionalities have been added and some changes have been made.
Default Dashboards are now available in the Advanced Analytics section. The Advanced Analytics tile now displays the following 3 tabs:
This displays the following charts based on the defined KPIs and the authorization of the user (for example, Finance Head):
This displays the following charts based on the defined KPIs and the authorization of the user (for example, Legal Head):
This displays the legal details at a more granular level based on the defined KPIs and the authorization of the user (for example, Legal Head):
Display User-level Information Charts
Legal managers will be able to view specific user-level data in a tabular format in the Agreement Summary, Deviation Summary and Expiring Agreements sections, and act on the insights gained from the reports.
Legal managers can filter the data in the Power BI dashboard by the Agreement Status – Executed, and display data only for agreements that match the filter criteria. This makes data analysis easier because only the data that meets the specified criteria is displayed while the others are hidden, thereby helping them make informed business decisions. However, for expiring and auto-renewing agreements, legal managers can filter the data in charts by both Executed and Superseded states.
Even though the filter changes apply to all the 3 Power BI dashboard tabs, Business Summary, Legal Summary and Legal Details tabs, it is restricted to the following charts:
Note: Since we are applying the Executed and Superseded filter to all charts except Total Agreement Value Pending Execution ($), the common filter Agreement Status at the page level is removed from the Business Summary dashboard.
When creating reports, you can select which data model you want to use. For example, you can select Agreements data model to get agreement centric attributes and other data. If you select Clauses data model, then you would get clauses centric attributes and other data. The same applies using the Ask a question functionality.
