## Setting Up Automated Reporting

Follow these steps to configure an automated reporting workflow in Qvista.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect Your Data Sources">
    In the Qvista integration panel, add each data source you want to include — databases, spreadsheets, APIs, or third-party SaaS tools. Qvista pulls data directly from your source in real time without storing it on its servers.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Define Your Data Relationships">
    Use the visual data mapper to link related fields across your sources — for example, joining order data from your e-commerce platform with customer data from your CRM. Qvista handles the merge automatically on every refresh.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build Your Dashboard">
    Drag and drop charts, tables, and KPI cards onto your dashboard canvas. Apply filters and drill-down configurations so viewers can explore the data interactively without needing access to the underlying sources.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Up Automated Workflows">
    Create a workflow that triggers whenever source data changes — or set a schedule (hourly, daily, weekly). Qvista will refresh all connected datasets, recalculate derived metrics, and update every dashboard automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Report Distribution">
    Define who receives which reports and in what format. Attach a PDF export to a scheduled email, share a live dashboard link with stakeholders, or push a CSV to a connected storage system — all configured in the same workflow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign Team Roles and Monitor Activity">
    Use role-based access controls to give each team member the correct permission level. Track who has viewed, edited, or commented on each report using Qvista's built-in activity log.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Qvista does not store your underlying data. All dashboards and reports are generated by fetching data live from your connected sources, which means your data always remains under your control.
</Note>

<Tip>
  Use Qvista's threshold alert feature alongside your KPI cards to notify the right stakeholder automatically the moment a metric falls below or exceeds its defined target — turning your dashboard into a proactive monitoring tool.
