Tables/columns panel: All the tables and the columns under them can be seen in this panel on the left. Users can use these columns to create a report.

Task bar: It has buttons to Generate report, Preview, Presentation mode, Refresh cache, Export, Toggle tool bars and Save report.

 

Tool bar: It has buttons to apply Filters, inject CSS, JS & HTML, change Settings & Customize the report. Users can toggle the tool bar if not required by clicking on the layout button in the task bar.
