Analytics reports feature enable you to create cross-form reports over various data sources, including process tables, child tables, system tables, datasets, and dataviews, and interpret them in a visual or tabular format.
Creating a report from data source
You can use two types of data sources to create reports.
Table: Table holds the actual data that must be evaluated. A table, like a spreadsheet, is made up of columns, the fields in the form, and rows are the items submitted.
Dataview: This is a one-of-a-kind data source created by using columns from one or more tables or dataviews by writing an SQL query in the query editor. Dataviews are unique data sources that combine one or more tables, and you can further simplify the data in the form of a report.
You can create reports based on a data source inside the Data explorer page in two ways.
- Click More options button (
) and click Create report.
- Open a data source to Create report.
Creating a report from dataview
You can also create a dataview and generate a report. For example, a dataview can combine two different process tables, and then you can create a report over it. Learn how to create a dataview.
