Fail Fast gives you two complementary reporting tools. Dashboards are interactive analytics for exploring and monitoring your data in real time. Reports are pixel-perfect documents designed for printing and formal distribution.
Dashboards are interactive analytics built over your workspace data. You assemble them with a drag-and-drop dashboard designer, placing items such as:
  • Charts
  • Pivot tables
  • KPIs and indicators
  • Maps
  • Funnels
  • Gantt charts
  • Embedded web pages
among the available items.

​
Where dashboards appear

You can use a dashboard in three places:
  • As a Dashboard view on any table — see views.
  • As a Dashboard block inside a page — see the block editor.
  • As a standalone dashboard page.
This means the same analytics can live next to the data they describe, inside a documentation page for context, or as a page of their own for a team’s daily monitoring.
When to use which: reach for a dashboard when you want live monitoring and free exploration — filtering, drilling, watching numbers move. Reach for a report when you need a formatted statement or a printable document that looks exactly the same every time it runs.
