Business Analysis Using Reports and Dashboards

So far, we have covered the basic objects that are used to conduct business in Salesforce. Now, we will look at reports and dashboards.

Salesforce is a great tool for capturing the data needed to drive various business processes, but what good is the data if it isn't actionable? This is where reports and dashboards come in. They allow you to understand and act on your data.
