Involve user throughout development process
• Observe/interview the user doing their current job. • Validate low and high fidelity prototypes with user.• Revalidate code with user before shipping using
usability testing.
To learn more • UX Direct Checklist (see Chuck Abell)• Jakob Nielson: Discount Usability Engineering• Steven Krug: Rocket Surgery made Easy

What Are Work Areas?
• An organizing element in Fusion applications
• A collection of related pages designed to support a specific user role in accomplishing a specific business goal
• The place users perform most of their work in the system
• Tab models support organizing information based on task needs.

No Tabs Model
• Most common in Fusion• Less complex than tabbed models• For simpler, less cluttered UIs

Dynamic Tabs Model
• Designed to support true multi-tasking among multiple objects and tasks
For Internal Use Only – Fusion Apps Internal Training

• Designed to reduce a large object (or business process) into four or fewer smaller pieces

Which Analytics Technologies Apply Where
• The entire Home Dashboard can be created in OBIEE with UI Shell (we call it BI Dashboards).
• Alternatively, Home Dashboard can be created by dropping individual ADF DVT or OBIEE regions from Webcenter Catalog.
• Transactional Dashboards, work areas, or transactional pages can contain regions created either in OBIEE or in ADF DVT.
• Reporting pane can be a launching point to both printable (BI Publisher) reports and interactive (OBIEE) reports, as well as Hyperion reports.

Analytics Editors
• Analytic regions on the dashboard can be moved around, added, or removed with Page Composer and Resource (Webcenter) Catalog.
• OIBEE environment, Answers (either full or wizard) can be launched to enable editing content of Analytic regions that are built in OBIEE and to create new OBIEE content.
• BIP environment can be launched to eanble editing or creating of new BIP reports.
