DATA PRESENTATION & COLLABORATION

Module 4

This module is focused on showing users how to present and collaborate on their data using several of the main features within ClearQuery - Dashboards, Commenting, and Insights Canvas. 

  • Dashboards allow users to display data from different datasets in a comprehensive manner.
  • Chart Commenting allows users to comment on saved charts, as well as, tag team members for further collaboration.
  • Insights Canvas allows users to build and collaborate on slide-based presentations directly in ClearQuery.
