Dashboards

A dashboard is a collection of previously created reports that display information necessary for daily business tasks. Dashboards allow you to analyze data on a single page and share it with other users.

In SimpleOne, you can create reports of various types and customize their look and feel. To learn more about creating reports, see the Create Reports article.
