What is Digital Reporting?

Digital reporting is a tool used by companies to automatically import real-time data from multiple sources and output it all in a single report so executives and managers can make more informed decisions.

Why Use Digital Reporting?

  1. Easy to set up: Reporting can easily be set up by anyone without having a tech background or needing to know computer code.
  2. Less time to produce: a reporting system can pull in data from multiple sources at the same time and then output a report in seconds. No need to download and combine multiple reports manually. 
  3. Lower cost: Analysts traditionally spend half of their time preparing the data. A reporting solution frees up this time for more meaningful tasks such as analysis and decision-making.
  4. Higher value: Advanced tools such as AI and predictive analysis can uncover insights previously not discoverable through traditional methods, thus giving your business an edge in the market.

How to Implement Reporting using Lido

Lido allows you to seamlessly integrate data from different sources at the click of a button.

Step 1: Connect data sources to Lido

1.a: Click Data on the upper-left corner of Lido, then select the source from the list:

1.b: Either input access details (such as API keys) or log in through another tab or window:

1.c: After successfully connecting, you will be redirected to the Database Editor, where you can select tables, or even specific rows or columns, to import.

1.d: Once you have finished selecting your data, click Save dataset & edit view in the top right corner.  The data is now loaded to your Lido spreadsheet.

Step 2: Calculate KPIs in a separate sheet

You can calculate KPIs by setting up the equations once in the sheets in Lido. The function names are the same as that used in Google Sheets. Here is the portion of the sheet that includes a sample formula:

Step 3: Assemble the data

3.a: Click the Dashboard on the top of the Lido spreadsheet. A blank space will appear where you can add components by clicking the Components tab on the right side and dragging the components you need into your visual output.

3.b: Drag-and-drop components from the Components sidebar. Some of the components you can add are the charts, tables, metrics (Lido’s version of scoreboard charts of Google Sheets), and even maps!

Once you are done, click Preview on the upper-right corner to see how it will look once deployed.
