EMBEDDING ANALYTICS WITHIN TRANSACTION SEARCH

A system and method facilitating data search, analysis, and/or related actions or data modifications in an enterprise computing environment. An example method includes providing a first user option to specify a transaction search; providing a second user option to specify an analytic; and employing an integrated analytics and search framework to present one or more search results via the analytic in response to user selection of the first user option. In a more specific embodiment, the first user option further enables user specification of one or more dimensions of a data component used for a search, by manipulation of an analytics setting. A third user option enables user modification of search data returned as search results and/or may enable users to perform related actions, e.g., approval of expense reports. Additional controls may enable selective user access to functionality depending upon content of the search results.
