Summary


You have now seen the myriad ways in which you can get reports in both P6 Professional and in the Web Client. In P6 Professional the options include screen printing and using the built-in report tools. In the web client, the main reporting tool is BI Publisher. Both systems come with a number of reports that should serve many of your common needs. You can use the reports to share information with your team as you successfully plan and execute your projects.

While BI Publisher is a powerful tool, its just the tip of the iceberg, one part of a larger application called Oracle Business Intelligence, Enterprise Edition, or OBIEE. This large application is a framework of tools and technologies for creating data warehouses, transforming and storing data, and generating a wide variety of reports for a range of devices, including mobile. There is a specific implementation of OBIEE dedicated to reporting on P6, which is called P6 Analytics. This is sold separately from P6, and serves to grant far greater reporting capability than is found in P6 itself (which is saying quite alot!). Using P6 Analytics, users can drill down into the data and create sophisticated ad-hoc reports. A full discussion of P6 Analytics is beyond the scope of this book, but we invite interested readers to learn more online.
