12. Frames & Reports: Getting Started in Count

Frames are incredibly useful in count. They allow us to organize elements in our canvas. So for example, I could drag and select all these cells. And now when I move this frame, these are all contained within it. The other benefit frames is that they are the basis for creating reports in count. We've just added a frame, and my template here came in a frame as well. So we have two on this canvas. I'm going to click on report. So report view is very powerful in allowing us to focus attention on the elements of our canvas that really matter. So it takes the viewer away from the canvas environment. And here we can see one of the frames that I created from my template. And if I click across, we can see the second frame, which was my analysis. So you can see that by adding frames to canvas, we could create a very nice slideshow that can be presented. Or maybe we just want a single slide or a single dashboard. Within our settings menu, I could turn off any frames that I don't want to show. So now I just have a view of this one slide. You'll remember that we added our overview, and that still comes with us in report view, and we can still interact with these here.
