NB: Creating Instant Reports

In the Sturdy Statistics platform, when you create a report, you are actually training a statistical model that we call an Index under the hood. Our indices learn the statistical patterns that constructs your data. Extracting these patterns make up the bulk of the report creation time. However, once you have created a report, you can reuse that index to run new analysis and apply your existing reports to new data.

Below, we will walk you through the process of creating an instant report with your newly created index

Step 1: View your Indices

Click on the Indices tab in the navbar to go to your Index List page. Click on the name of the index you just created to go to its Index Management page.

Step 2: Create a Report

This Index management page allows your to create instant reports, update your Index integration datastreams and run SQL queries directly in the platform. Under the Reports table, slick the button Create Report to create an instant report.

Step 4: Instant Report

Unlike the initial report kickoff, this report will load instantly. Once an index is trained, you can leverage that to organize your data for dozens of analyses. You can also easily keep your index up to date directly from the Index page or via our API. You can view the final Trend Comparison here.
