Configurable Inquiries

Configurable Inquiries offer a seamless integration between the Advantage application and Advantage Insight (the Advantage business intelligence solution) by providing a guided experience for users that may be unfamiliar with report development tools. Users can define their own filters, reporting columns, visualizations, and format settings with Configurable Inquiries. In addition, Configurable Inquiries provide the flexibility to save and share an inquiry with other users, as well as expand the reporting capability to users who do not have access to create and configure reports.

The CREATCI Page Code from the Global Search bar routes you to a Create Configurable Inquiry wizard page. It is also possible to navigate to the CREATCI page via an Advantage QuickLink or an Advantage Bookmark. Some of the key differentiations that Configurable Inquiries possess over Standard Inquiries are as follows:

• Ability to save and share an inquiry with users and business roles.

• Ability to apply formatting for number, date, and currency fields.

• Ability to save search, analytical view, and grid settings.

• Ability to use aggregate functions on the grid data.

• Ability to do drill-down and drill-up up to three levels on the grid data.
