\"\"<\/p>\n

What is Zoho Analytics for?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Zoho Analytics is used to break down silos, streamline operations, and help reduce reporting and analysis preparation time.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>This business intelligence and data analysis software allows companies to scrutinize their data, create custom reports and provide valuable insights using the following tools:<\/span><\/p>\n

Workspaces<\/span><\/h3>\n

In\u00a0<\/span>Zoho Analytics<\/span><\/a>\u00a0, data is grouped into workspaces.\u00a0A workspace is a collection of datasets (stored in entities called tables) and all the reports and dashboards built on top of them.\u00a0The workspace also contains structural information about the relationships between components.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It also helps generate metrics from the data, which can be used for\u00a0<\/span>further research<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0You can define one or more workspaces in your account, which you can share with other people.\u00a0To learn more about workspaces and how to manage them,\u00a0<\/span>click here<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Data tables<\/span><\/h3>\n

The actual data that needs to be analyzed is grouped into data tables.\u00a0A workspace is made up of multiple tables of data A table is like a spreadsheet because it has columns and rows of data.\u00a0A name and a type (data type) are assigned to each column.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Typically, a workspace contains one or more tables containing logistically related data.\u00a0A sales workspace, for example, might have tables for customers, products, sales, and orders.\u00a0You can quickly establish a relationship between two different sets of data by creating relationships.\u00a0Then you can use the table columns to generate any form of detailed report.<\/span><\/p>\n

Formulas<\/span><\/h3>\n

Formulas are calculations that help you determine\u00a0<\/span>critical performance metrics<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for reporting and analysis.\u00a0Zoho Analytics has a powerful formula engine that can help you generate any type of calculation you need for your custom reports.<\/span><\/p>\n
