What is the difference between Dashboards and Reports? In Enterprise Business Intelligence (EBI) Environment, we have Client Applicaltions (OLAPCubes, InfoMap) and Web Applications' (WRS, Dashboard & Portal (IDP)) Tools are there for Reporting. SAS Web Report Studio (WRS): We can create Detailed, Summarized REPORTS and Section REPORTS . Whereas in SAS BI Dashbaord: We can create DASHBOARDS like, Bar Charts (Simple, Targetted, Clustered, Stacked, Interactive Bar Charts, Bar Chart with Reference Lines, Pie Chart, KPIs, Spark Table and Interaction between Dashbaords.) So finally we used to PUBLISH WRS REPORTS & DASHBOARDS into SAS Information Delivery Portal (IDP) for End Users\Business Users for checking the reports. Visual Analytics (VA): We can create REPORTS & DASHBOARDS using Report Designer. We can create Listing Reports using List Table, Hierarchical Reports using Cross Tab, Bar and Pie charts etc. We can create different SECTION Reports using multiple data sources. In SAS VA, Report Designer is an integrated tool\application will fulfill all EBI Tools (SAS OLAP Cube Studio, Information Map Studio, WRS & Dashboards) Thanks & Regards, Venu Murala | Sr. SAS Consultant, USA.
