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.
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!
Is there a way to periodically refresh the report? I can see that when dataset is refreshed, dashboard gets updated with latest data. But the report view does not update unless manually refreshed.
