To display data to users, build reports using the Reports section in the Project Explorer. When you edit a report, the Component Configuration panel and the report workspace are displayed as shown in the image below. Reports can include a variety of components including, but not limited to, tables, charts, buttons, notes, group boxes, and slicers. Using slicers, users can quickly and easily filter data displayed in tables and charts. 

Add interactivity

Reports based on objects in the models can include links that lead to more detailed reports. Links provide a basic level of interactivity for users. You can provide more interactivity by adding slicers, field pickers, and quick pivots as shown in the following image. Slicers filter the table (or chart) by the values selected. Field pickers add columns and quick pivots group the data by a selected column.

Custom tables and charts

In addition to slicers, field pickers, and quick pivots, end users assigned to an Analyst role can add custom tables and charts to reports.

General steps for creating reports

The general steps for creating reports are listed below:

• Create a blank report.
• Add tables and charts.
• Arrange the tables and charts to best present the data and facilitate access.
• Add slicers so users can filter the report.
• Add navigation between reports if needed.
