[Omitted video] Description: How to create, style, and share reports in Core UI

You can generate the following types of reports, organized by category:

Bar reports enable you to compare scores across data dimensions.
Pie and Donut reports visualize the relationship between the parts and the whole of a data set using a single round shape.
Time Series reports visualize data over time. In addition to data from within your instances and imported data sources, you can also use MetricBase data in time series reports. For more information, see MetricBase application.
Multidimensional reports visualize data across dimensions in a single table or graph.
Scores visualize single data points either across ranges or as a single value.
Statistical reports visualize data with statistical values such as medians and means.
Other reports include calendars, maps, and lists.

You can also use Natural Language Query (NLQ) inside Report Designer to generate a report. Simply write a question into the NLQ field, and the Report Designer generates a report of an appropriate type.

	Report	Description
[Omitted image "inline-data-vis-bar-column.png"] Alt text: Data visualization column type - icon	Column reports	Shows how one or more values change over time by displaying them as proportional vertical columns.
[Omitted image "inline-data-vis-line.png"] Alt text: Data visualization line type - icon	Line reports	Shows how one or more values change over time by connecting a series of data points with straight lines.
[Omitted image "inline-data-vis-stepline.png"] Alt text: Data visualization step line type - icon	Step line reports	Shows how one or more values change over time by connecting a series of data points with horizontal and vertical lines.
[Omitted image "inline-data-vis-area.png"] Alt text: Data visualization area type - icon	Area reports	Resembles a line chart, but the area between the axis and line is commonly emphasized with colors.

	Report	Description
[Omitted image "inline-data-vis-speedometer.png"] Alt text: Data visualization speedometer type - icon	Speedometer reports	Shows an overview of the count of an indicator at the current moment in the form of a round meter.

[Omitted image "inline-data-vis-single-score.png"] Alt text: Data visualization single score type - icon	Single score report	Displays a single aggregate value that is important to your business.

	Report	Description
[Omitted image "inline-data-vis-control.png"] Alt text: Data visualization - control type - icon	Control reports	Displays data as a series of connected points to determine whether a business process is in a state of statistical control and to identify outliers. (Found in the Other reports section.)
[Omitted image "inline-data-vis-trend.png"] Alt text: Data visualization trend type - icon	Trend reports	Shows how the value of one or more items changes over time.
