What is Report Visualization?
Report visualization is the process of representing data and information in a pictorial or graphical format that allows everyone to quickly grasp the significance of the content. So, that action can be taken quickly, and time is spent on decision-making rather than understanding data. The human brain processes information significantly more quickly when it is presented in graphical form.
What is the purpose of using different types of Report Visualization?
Report visualization has emerged as a crucial component to present an intuitive view of data and makes it easier to spot trends, patterns, and correlations when represented graphically as compared to tables of data.
