# What are reports?

A report often consists of several individually configured analyses. It can be dispatched automatically via email or to a SFTP server.

Besides analyses there are further elements that are only available in reports.

Reports also provide the possibility to use Live elements. These show information in near real-time.

| Detailed information can be found in the training chapter on [Live Elements in Reports](/v1/docs/user-interface-12-live-elements-in-reports). |

Only reports can be shared with other users. These users can access the report and – if they have the corresponding rights – edit the report. Reports can be linked to each other. This enables you to create a general report that links to more detailed reports.
