CerteroX presents data through two main views — **Dashboards** and **Reports**.

- **Dashboards** use graphical elements to highlight trends and key metrics.
- **Reports** are Excel-style data grids with filtering, sorting, and export options for deeper analysis.

### Dashboards

The platform includes three dashboards:

- **Executive Dashboard** – Provides a high-level summary of SaaS spend, usage, and application metadata, along with key news items and identified savings opportunities.
- **Usage Summary** – Displays application categorization and usage data, helping identify overlapping or functionally equivalent applications.
- **Cost Summary** – Draws on subscription data to present total spend, renewal timelines, and savings opportunities.

### Dashboard Elements

Dashboard elements provide interactive visualizations that allow you to explore data in more detail.

- **Drill-Down Functionality** – Clicking a tab option within a dashboard element opens the corresponding **data grid** for deeper analysis.

- **Filters** – Where applicable, filter options are displayed so you can refine the dataset being viewed.

- **Visualization Controls** – For elements containing a large range of datapoints, a control panel of icons is available. These options allow you to:
  - Zoom in and out of the chart.
  - Pan across the visualization.
  - Export the data or chart in multiple formats (**SVG, PNG, or CSV**).

### Reports

Reports complement dashboards by providing detailed, tabular data views. They can be sorted, filtered, and exported, allowing users to perform precise analysis or share data externally.
