Differentiating Dashboards Versus Dynamic Reports

Dashboards and Dynamic Reports are like twin sisters as they share a common source of data and multi-dimensional model. Both are interactive and enabled with drag & drop, and slice & dice capabilities.

When to use Dashboards Versus Dynamic Reports

Use Dashboards when there is a need to visualize and present business critical and decision-driving information coming from multiple reports on a single screen.

Dynamic Reports are text and table based and should be used primarily for financial and adhoc reporting where it is necessary to share information in a standard format at a more detailed level and with automated distribution capabilities.
