I would regards dashboard as something one dynamically interact with.

Whereas a report is static, as in once a pdf / paper report is produced then that is it, no interaction is possible.

Hi,

1. This provides you the KPI gauges, Charts, Analysis reports.

2. This provides the reports what ever it is for any purpose and provides soft copy as (Excel,csv,txt).

so in terms of Qlikview:

dashboarding: all the tabs created in the application

reporting: reports created for eg. PDF reports and distributed by the publisher..?

Hi,

Yes, In dashboard we have sheets, tabs objects(Text object, Gauges, Charts, different charts) specially gauge charts, bubble charts. In reporting PDF, excel and distributed by publisher it self also the reports which is in the qlikview files like i have report current YTD vs Previous YTD and so on and there is feature to export the reports from here.

1. A report is a visualization of the data that was returned by a given search. They allow you analyze the information you uncover through your searches and use it to create compelling stories.

2. A dashboard is a collection of objects (reports, links, Charts etc.). This allows you combine multiple different "stories" into a single interface. From the documentation.

In Qlikview reports are just detailed information in tabular format.

Use dashboards to highlight interesting and useful aspects of your data, link to important searches and display common reports
