Core Update

Reporting in Ashby gives you a lot of flexibility and power. But for new users or anyone trying to move quickly, getting started can feel like a big lift. We've made it simpler for anyone to get started with Report Builder.

A simpler place to start

The redesigned Report Builder solves this by giving you a cleaner, more focused starting point.

  • Report Templates are better organized along the left sidebar
  • Each template category is collapsible, allowing you to focus on a single category or explore them all
  • You can easily search templates by a single keyword or topic

Once you’ve selected your Report Template, we’ve made it much easier to tweak settings to get exactly what you need.

  • Your data visualization is always front and center. With live previews, you get to see the impact of your changes in real time.
  • Quickly configure your report from the tiles above your graph. For many users, these are the only adjustments needed.
  • More advanced settings are available in your right sidebar, which is collapsed by default.

Advanced settings moved to the side

You can still use advanced logic to build exactly what you need. These controls now live in a collapsible sidebar that keeps your report front and center as you work.

From the right sidebar you can update fields like:

  • Reporting subject
  • Visualization options
  • Groupings
  • Timezone Settings

This new experience moves us closer to our goal: making powerful reporting feel approachable and fast. It lowers the barrier to entry, making it easier for everyone to explore, understand, and act on their insights.
