3. Make it Pretty:
   • • Colors and Fonts: You can maintain a consistent color palette and font style in keeping with your branding. These are accessible from the “Format” settings.
     • Borders and Backgrounds: Add borders or backgrounds to the different parts of your report for separation and focus.
4. Add Filters: Use filters so that the user can drill down into what he or she is most concerned with. It keeps your report clean and focused.

Step 3: Customizing Your Dashboards

1. Select Dashboard Layout: First, select a layout that best suits your needs for presenting data. Zoho Analytics provides several layouts to choose from.
2. Drag and Drop Widgets: Use the intuitive drag-and-drop functionality to arrange and resize widgets for charts, tables, and KPIs.

   • • Add sliders, dropdowns, and buttons to make your dashboard interactive. This encourages users to explore the data on their terms.
     • Add links to other related reports or external sources that can give deeper insights.
4. Summary and Insights Section: Key takeaways and insights should have a separate section to ensure users gain these crucial pieces of information quickly, not by digging too much into the data.

Step 4: Review and Collaborate

Then after customizing these reports and dashboards, comes the review – check for uniformity and legibility. Display your work with your peers and stakeholders for critical reviews before presenting it as complete in its design work.
