Overview

The BSC_UI_COLOR_USER table is a core data object within the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) module of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. It functions as a repository for user-specific UI customization preferences, specifically storing customized color scheme information. This table enables the personalization of the Balanced Scorecard user interface, allowing individual users to tailor the visual presentation of dashboards, scorecards, and performance indicators to their preferences. By maintaining these settings at the user level, the system supports a more personalized and potentially more effective analytical experience, which is central to the BSC module's role in strategic performance management.

Key Information Stored

The primary data stored in this table is the mapping between a user and their chosen visual scheme. Based on the provided ETRM metadata, the table's structure is centered on a single, critical column that forms its primary key. The USER_ID column uniquely identifies the EBS user who has defined a custom color scheme. While the specific details of the color scheme data (e.g., hex codes, palette names) are not explicitly detailed in the excerpt, the table's description as holding "Customized scheme information" confirms its purpose. The primary key constraint (BSC_UI_COLOR_USER_PK) on USER_ID ensures that at most one customized scheme can be stored per user, enforcing a one-to-one relationship between a user and their UI color preferences.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case for this table is the retrieval and application of a user's personalized UI settings upon login to the Balanced Scorecard. A common administrative query would involve listing all users who have configured a custom scheme. A typical SQL pattern for this is: SELECT USER_ID FROM BSC.BSC_UI_COLOR_USER;. For troubleshooting or auditing purposes, one might join this table with the FND_USER table (via the USER_ID) to get the actual usernames: SELECT fu.USER_NAME FROM BSC.BSC_UI_COLOR_USER bucu, FND_USER fu WHERE bucu.USER_ID = fu.USER_ID;. Reporting use cases are generally limited to administrative overviews of customization adoption rates rather than operational business intelligence, as the data is purely related to application presentation.

Related Objects

The BSC_UI_COLOR_USER table has a documented, direct relationship with one other core BSC table, as defined by its foreign key constraint. The table references the BSC_USERS table via the USER_ID column. This relationship ensures referential integrity, meaning a record in BSC_UI_COLOR_USER cannot exist for a user who is not defined in the BSC_USERS table. The join condition for this relationship is BSC_UI_COLOR_USER.USER_ID = BSC_USERS.USER_ID. This design indicates that user management within the Balanced Scorecard module is centralized in the BSC_USERS table, with BSC_UI_COLOR_USER acting as a dependent extension table for storing user-specific UI preferences.
