Xperios Fusion

Xperios Fusion is the new browser-based version of Xperios that will, over time, replace Xperios Desktop. It is live now with a subset of features, and more are added as they are released.

Until a given area is available in Fusion, the Xperios Desktop guide remains the reference for it.

Queries, Reports and Dashboards

Three related tools sit under the Query, Reports and Dashboard menu items. They build on each other:

• A Query is a saved question you ask the database — it returns rows.
• A Report takes a Query's data and lays it out for printing, PDF export, or emailing — with titles, groupings, and totals.
• A Dashboard takes a Query's data and turns it into a live tile — a number, chart, or table — on a personal or shared at-a-glance screen.
