Abstract: Analytical functions to be applied to business intelligence data may be sequentially selected from a set of chips, each corresponding to a different function. A function associated with a selected chip may be applied to the business intelligence data and the selected chip may be added to an analysis path with other selected chips in a sequential order of selection. A result, which may include at least two selectable data points, may be displayed. Once a data point selection is made, the selection may be used to limit the functions associated with subsequently displayed chips to the selected data points. The chips listed in the analysis path may be used to change prior data point selections, the changes of which may be automatically propagated to any subsequently selected chips as indicated in the analysis path.

Abstract: A computer program product is tangibly embodied in a computer readable storage medium and comprises instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method including: presenting business category identifiers to a user in a computer system, each business category identifier representing one of multiple reporting content bundles for configuring a transactional application and an analytical application; receiving, in the computer system, a selection by the user of at least one of the business category identifiers; and installing in the computer system, from the selected reporting content bundle, at least one transactional content object in the transactional application, and at least one analytical content object in the analytical application.
