What is an Analysis
(See Figure 1)
An analysis is the prime workspace for creating data visualizations, which are graphical representations of your data. Each analysis contains a collection of visualizations that you arrange and customize.

Analysis Screen Sheets
(See Figure 9)
The analysis screen first appears with one sheet (1) by default.
A sheet is a page that displays a set of visualizations and insights. A sheet is filled with charts, graphs, and tables. You can add more sheets and make them work separately or together in your analysis.

Settings Options
(See Figure 10 to Figure 13)
Using the settings screen, you can select the layout of the sheet you are currently working on and toggle between refresh options.

The layout options are:
- Tiled - visuals snap to grid with standard spacing and alignment. Dashboards are displayed as designed, with options to fit to the screen or view at the actual size.
NOTE
On mobile devices, the dashboard adjusts to a single column in portrait mode or displays exactly as designed in landscape mode.
Figure 11: Tiled Layout
- Free-form - visuals can be placed anywhere (including overlap) with precise coordinates. Dashboards are displayed as designed, with options to fit the screen or view at the actual size.
NOTE
The Free-form sheet layout must be selected when embedding EasySend’s custom backgrounds while creating custom visual content. For additional information see the Visual Types article.
NOTE
On mobile devices, dashboard displays are published with no changes to the layout. Once designed in this layout, switching to another dashboard layout may cause some visual elements to shift and will need adjusting.

- Classic - visuals snap to grid with standard spacing and alignment. Dashboards will hide data or change the formatting to fit smaller screen sizes.
NOTE
On mobile devices, the dashboard adjusts to a single column in portrait mode or displays exactly as designed in landscape mode.
