SmartAnalyzer is much more than a collection of pre-built analytical

tests and reports for sector-specific analysis. It’s a framework that

helps you navigate the data analysis process in IDEA, start to finish.

Tried and true tests, data requests, and reports make it easy to

boost productivity and improve the consistency of your results.

No matter what your level of analytical expertise, let SmartAnalyzer

do the procedural legwork for you so can focus on the interpretation

and reporting of results.

IDEA® JUST GOT SMARTER.

With the Results & Reporting task, you can review and export your results or create corresponding

reports. Generate comprehensive reports including the description of the tests, the audit

objectives, and summarized results with drill-down capability in IDEA. Optionally include the

records identified by the tests. Share with non-IDEA users your findings in different formats so

they can see the magic of Smart Analyzer.

NO FUSS RESULTS AND REPORTING

Reporting

With the Select & Run task, test selection and preparation is dynamic, and intuitive. All you

need to know about the audit tests is detailed in the Description window, including the type

of analysis, the audit objectives, and examples. The Audit Grid is your audit test control panel

where you’ll see a list of the tests and their status. You’ll know at-a-glance if you’ve assigned

tags to all the fields and set the required parameters.

SIMPLIFIED DATA PREP

Before running a test, you need to pair a set of tags with data fields in the IDEA database

you want to analyze. You can do this manually, by assigning tags to data fields yourself, or

automatically, by selecting a Standard Import Routine. By doing the tagging for you, Standard

Import Routines save you time and eliminate any potential for error.

SmartAnalyzer provides a simple way to request and acquire data and offers three data

request types that can accommodate almost any data requirement and degree of ERP system

familiarity. If you don’t have access to an ERP system, you can send a data request to someone

who can provide the data for you. If you do, you can acquire only the data required for the

audit tests you select using SmartExporter.

DATA ACQUISITION MADE EASY

Data Request

Marketplace Management

The Marketplace is your entry point to purchasing and downloading tests, Standard Import

Routines, and other apps as easily as you would buy items on consumer or pay-per-song sites.

The App Manager (Management task) is the management hub for IDEA apps, updates, and

licenses. Display, import, and remove apps.

SHOP FOR TESTS AND OTHER APPS

SmartAnalyzer’s integration with IDEA is

apparent in the IDEA Ribbon tab devoted

to this analytical add-on. Through this

convenient Ribbon entry point, you now

have access to a default, no-cost set of

SmartAnalyzer tests and options as well as

the Marketplace where you can shop for

audit tests, Standard Import Routines, and

other apps.
