Analysis

Analysis is a reporting tool in which users can analyze, monitor, report and combine information. With this functionality, users can find their tax expense data in a centralized and organized data store. They can justify the results of their data, address questions about their data and strategically plan for the future with "real-time" reporting.

In Analysis, users can choose Dashboards and Reports containing metadata (data that provides information about other data from the ONESOURCE Tax Provision database) for reporting. A license is required to activate the Analysis functionality within the Tax Provision and Global Access programs.

•	The Analysis functionality obtains entered and calculated data from the Tax Provision and Global Access programs. As users enter data into the Tax Provision and Global Access programs, those amounts automatically appear in the Dashboard and Reports.

•	With Analysis users can view multiple years of data from both active and archived datasets. Users can use their history of data to create multi-period comparisons and trend analyses.

There are two types of licenses available for the Analysis functionality; End Users and Designers.

•	An End User licensee can utilize an Analysis Dashboard to analyze data; however, cannot change the format of the existing Dashboards or create new ones.

•	A Designer licensee can create Analysis Dashboards and ad hoc reports.

Note: Administrators assign datasets in the Analysis Datasets folder within ONESOURCE Tax Provision Administration.
