Best Practices
Start with weekly summaries: Begin with a simple weekly trend report to understand the value before creating complex dashboards.
Use natural language prompts: When creating scheduled tasks, write prompts as if asking a colleague for a summary.
Combine visualizations: Use multiple chart types to provide different perspectives on the same data.
Set appropriate frequencies: Match report frequency to decision-making cadence—daily for operations, weekly for tactics, monthly for strategy.
Include actionable insights: Configure reports to highlight what needs attention, not just what happened.
