Reports in DataLens

A report is a multi-page document in a specified format you can use as an interactive presentation or export to PDF and print. You can add charts, text blocks, headers, and images to report pages.

To view a report example, deploy the DataLens demo dashboard from DataLens Gallery:

1. Click Use → Deploy.
2. Choose where to save the workbook: workbook and collection root, existing collection, or new collection. Navigate to the saving location and click Deploy. The workbook name must be unique, so edit the name if you need to.
3. Click Create. You will see the report example in the created workbook.
