Analyzing Data with Reports and Dashboards

We've come a long way with our Recruiting app—not only do we have custom objects to store our data, we also defined security and sharing rules to protect that data, while making it easier for the hiring team to collaborate. And we added automation by implementing several business processes with workflow and approvals. We've built a functional application in the cloud, and we haven't even written a single line of code!

Now it's time to turn our attention to the needs of the Universal Containers managers and executive staff. Because they need to keep track of many different aspects of the business, we need a way to give them a bird's-eye view of the company's recruiting activity without forcing them to delve into piles and piles of data. To do this, we'll create a set of custom reports for our Recruiting app and then build a dashboard that allows users to view summaries of key Recruiting app statistics every time they log in.
