What is a report vs a dashboard?
Reports and dashboards use data stored in Thynk. This is is why it's important that you have clean data.
Most everyone now is familiar with what a report is. It's a document that allows you to analyze data stored in a database. It shows data based on your criteria of information you would like to see. Dashboards are a visual representation of the respective reports behind them. They usually contain, graphs, charts and tables which make analysing the data much easier than looking through detailed reports.
Who can create reports and dashboards?
In Thynk, anyone can create reports and dashboards, however, if they are complicated and require a lot of formatting, it is advised to reach out to your Thynk Admin who may be better trained to create them.
What is considered a 'standard' reports?
Standard reports/dashboards are those that come standard with Thynk.Cloud. They have already been developed for you to use without having to start creating one from scratch. These are standard reports typically used in the hospitality industry and those that you are most probably already familiar with. If absolutely needed, you can edit the reports and dashboards for your own liking. For instructions on how to do this, refer to How to Edit Reports and Dashboards
Custom reports are reports that you would create yourself, or pay to have developed. This can be a time consuming and expensive exercise. Your admin can of course create reports for you, as they may already be well trained on how to create reports. They can also refer to
How to Create a Report, and they can find Salesforce lessons online.
