Embedding reports inside the page makes it easier for the user to monitor and analyze their business data and derive meaningful insights straight from the dashboard. It saves the effort of having to leave the page, navigate to a report from the same or a different app in your account, view data, and return to the same page. It also features seamless interaction between all the applications in your Zoho Creator account. You can add a report from any of your Zoho Creator applications into the page in two ways:

Things to know about related elements in pages
- While accessing pages from web browsers and mobile devices, elements related to form will automatically be refreshed when users add, edit, and delete records.
- The elements that will be refreshed are panels, charts, reports (except pivot reports).
- The create, update, and delete operations must happen from either the same window or popup window. In other words, the corresponding form or its report must be embedded in that page. Opening the report (from the page) in a new window will not auto-refresh the related elements in that page.
- Only those users with export permissions will be able to export the report data. Learn more
Note: If your page has another application component (form or report) inside it, or a search element, then you need to publish the component for it to be accessible in the published page.
