difference between dashboard and report?
You create reports over your data model using the tables, columns and visualisation tools. You can't create a dashboard this way. Once you have a report, you can pin individual visualisations from a report into a dashboard - it is like a cockpit of individual visualisations and/or whole reports. Dashboards can have multiple tiles from different reports and different datamodels. When they click on a tile, the report opens.
Hi Adolfo,
Great explanation! However I stil have a doubt:
Is the Dashboard static or dinamic!? I mean . . . will I be able to see the automatic update data in the Dashboard as in the Reports?
A example. I have 3 Reports, one for each Power Plant and they are updated every 5min with a lot of production information. The CEO wants to see just the Energy Generation Graph for the 3 plants.
What should I do? Just pin the EGG from the reports or create a new Report to consolitade them?
Thanks in advance

The Dashboard will use the same data sets as the reports, so if you have them set to refresh periodically both the report views and the dashboard views will show a representation of that new data. With this in mind, you will be better off pinning the 3 site reports to a dashboard.
Hope that helps!
