Understand reports embedded in a page
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 ManageEngine AppCreator account. You can add a report from any of your ManageEngine AppCreator applications into the page in two ways:

- 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
