Good things come in small packages.  Isn’t that how the saying goes?  That is exactly how we sum up our newest reporting option, Headline Reports.  In the smallest way possible, Headline Reports quickly reveal the big and valuable numbers that are formulated in data intense spreadsheets and tables.  At a glance, you can comprehend the meaning of the metrics that will be presented in bigger, more robust charts and graphs.

Think about Headline Reports as your prologue.  A prologue establishes the setting and provides a quick introduction.  Your Headline Reports are just abbreviated numbers that call attention to the more crucial metrics that will follow. Take a look at our examples.  The Headline Reports are not rich in detail, just condensed numbers that give you a high-level overview to the  data that is represented in detail throughout the dashboard.

Try this: Have your dashboard tell a story and introduce the most important numbers by bundling up several Headline Reports for a quick view into your more complex metrics.  Make Headline Reports a valuable contribution to your dashboard.  We would love to hear what story you are telling through your Headline Reports.
