Within a blog-like format, users can add live or static reports, embed external media (such as images or videos), and write their narrative to explain the story within the data – and a create common and consistent understanding across the organization. It is also the first-ever cross-vendor storytelling product that lets you easily embed reports from multiple dashboard vendors, such as Tableau and Qlik, to create fully formed stories.
