STRUCTURED DEMO BACKGROUND AnalyzeNY is the Statewide Financial Data Warehouse implemented to aid New York State with reporting financial data. This project is sponsored by Division of the Budget (DOB) and implemented by Office of Information Technology Services (ITS). This data warehouse will allow better analysis of the data that resides in the Statewide Financial System (SFS) and will provide one source of truth for agencies reporting SFS data. AnalyzeNY utilizes Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) as the interface for reporting off the data warehouse. ACCESS New York State Directory Services (NYSDS) will be used to authenticate users. Users must request access to AnalyzeNY from their NYSDS Delegated Administrator (you will most likely want to contact your agency s Help Desk). Initially, all users will be granted access to the same reports. DATA REPORTABLE THROUGH OBIEE AnalyzeNY reports on SFS data only at this time. It is planned that additional statewide data sets will be loaded into the data warehouse and reportable through OBIEE. Data that is available is outlined below. GENERAL LEDGER ACTUALS Data that posts to the General Ledger in SFS is reportable in the data warehouse. Both CASH and MOD_ACCRL APPROPRIATION AND SEGREGATION DATA Two ledgers from the KK_APPROP ledger group are reportable through OBIEE: KK_APP_BD and KK_SEG_BD. All budget transactions against these ledgers will be included and summarized based on fiscal year and month selections. FUND BALANCES Fund balances are calculated and stored every day based on activity within that fund. This allows users to report balances at any point in the year. These balances are then reconciled to the CASH node on the RPT_SW_ACCOUNT tree in SFS on a daily basis. FREQUENCY OF DATA UPDATES Data is as of the close of business of the prior day. Data is loaded at 3AM every night to capture any and all activity in SFS for the current State fiscal year. All data for the current year is re-loaded during each load to capture any back-dated transactions. 1 P a g e
GENERAL LEDGER ACTUALS (DW360) This report flexibly offers many ways to slice and dice actuals posted to the General Ledger within the Statewide Financial System (SFS). These actuals are presented at a monthly level of detail and then reported by the chosen tree and/or chartfield combination. This report can be used to report actuals by day, month or year and by any Statewide Reporting tree created and maintained within SFS. In addition to reporting actuals by tree, the report allows the user to group trees by any chartfield levels on the statewide reporting trees. Additionally, the user can add and remove columns based on specific reporting needs. DATA SOURCE The source of all data on this report is the Statewide Financial System (SFS) and reconciles with the PS_LEDGER on a daily basis. REPORT STRUCTURE PROMPT SECTION Every tab of the report will have the same prompting section. This section is used to filter your results based on the specific criteria pertaining to your data request. Any choices made in this section will filter all remaining drop down boxes. Your choices made on one tab will carry through to all available tabs. Required selections: KK Department and Fiscal Year REPORT CONTENT Tabs labeled as a Tree tab will report actuals by a Statewide Reporting tree established in SFS. Available tress in NYSReports: Account Reporting Tree (RPT_SW_ACCOUNT) Account KK Tree (KK_SW_ACCT) Program Reporting Tree (RPT_SW_PRGM) Program KK Tree (KK_SW_PRGM) Department Reporting Tree (RPT_SW_DEPT) Budgetary Basis Fund Tree (RPT_SW_FUND_BUDG) The Other Chartfields tab will report data by the additional chartfields in SFS that do not have SW trees. For example, Budget Reference, Business Unit and Product Codes. The Flexible tab will allow the user to manipulate the report to include or exclude specific columns based on their questions. This tab allows more ad hoc analysis. 2 P a g e

USE CASE: HOW DO I DO SOMETHING ELSE? There are scenarios where the Tree or Other Chartfield tabs will not meet your needs. For example, if you want to see more than two chartfields on the report. The Flexible tab of this dashboard will allow you to add columns, rearrange the order, pivot, section and subtotal based on your specific requirements.

Adjust Fiscal Year filter choice in prompt section to include 2012-13 and 2013-14. Data for both years will now show up as rows on your report.

Click on the top of the Fiscal Year column until a handle with arrows appears. 2. Drag the column to above the numeric (measure) columns. Fiscal year will now be pivoted and a Grand Total column displayed. WHAT IF I DON T KNOW WHERE TO START? A lot of options and flexibility have been built in to the DW360 report to try and meet a wide variety of needs. While this approach is helpful in the long run, it may be intimidating and overwhelming initially. 1. Don t be afraid to explore the data. Select your agency and review the data on each tab. See what numbers stand out and look into the data more deeply. 2. Apply filters iteratively as you are exploring; For example, start with your entire agency and then filter down to a specific chartfield and then view data by date and Journal IDs. 3. You can t break it. Make as many selections and manipulations as you d like; you can always Clear Your Customization and start over. 5 P a g e
