Everyone can create reports. Reports can be kept private or shared with the workspace.

A report

There are numerous ways to use reports. Here are a few example use cases to inspire you:

  • Key metric update: Deliver the latest updates on your key metrics to your stakeholders. Next period, simply duplicate the report and update the time period.
  • Deep dive analysis: Craft a well-structured analysis and walk readers through your findings. Visualizations are always easy to update.
  • Live tracker: The classic dashboard use case. Set time periods to rolling and add a set of charts to track important metrics vs. targets.
  • Ad-hoc analysis: During meetings, open up Steep and collaborate with others to find answers to spontaneous questions. Allow everyone to contribute to the same report.
  • Personal exploration: Investigate for yourself and save charts to a private report that you can iterate on before sharing with others.
