Overview

mySidewalk provides two different formats for presenting information: Reports and Dashboards. While similar, they differ in functionality and organization.


Reports

  • A report is a single page that focuses on one topic. It is designed to be succinct and persuasive. Reports are in-depth and specific, best used to convey a single message or topic.


Dashboards

  • A dashboard is a collection of multiple pages. Each page provides insights on specific topics that contribute to an overall story. Dashboards offer a broader picture and allow you to explore various elements in more depth.


Pro-Tip:

  • You can create standalone reports or combine them into a dashboard. Dashboards provide more navigation flexibility for organizing multiple related reports.

  • You can save individual dashboard pages as reports.
