# Static Standardized Report - Quick Reference

Standardized reports are reports that are available to users who may not have access to other features of DataJet Desktop.

They are accessed from the **Reporting** Menu, and are also accessible from DataJet Web.

Each Standardized report is a custom report creating by a DataJet user. Standardized Reports belong to a specific [project](/v1/docs/introduction-to-projects). Depending on how they have been created, they may contain a fixed set of filters that can be applied in order to change the calculations.

Standardized reports are similar to [dashboards](/v1/docs/dashboard-overview-introduction), but there are some key differences:

|  | Standardized Report | Dashboard |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Display multiple visualisations | Yes - up to 24 | Yes - up to 24 |
| Respond to drag and drop filters | No | Yes - drag filters from Project Explorer, HotBar or other reports and drop |
| Respond to one or more attached filters | Yes - filters are provided with the report. Each filter affects only configured slots (i.e visualisations) | A dataset collection can be attached. All slots will respond to the selected collection item unless set as Static. |
| Export To Excel | Yes | Yes |
| Duplicate | No | Yes - right-click in dashboard tab and choose Duplicate |
| View in Web | Yes | Yes, but as read-only |
| Allow segments to be selected | No | Yes |
| Be transformed into other report type | No | Yes - a dashboard can be exported as a standardized report. |
| Configurable slot layout | Yes | Yes |
| Static Slots | Yes - by default all slots are static | Yes - slot must be set as static |
| Dynamic Slots | Yes, but must be individually connected to filters as required. | Yes - by default all slots are dynamic. |
| Move existing slot content to another slot | No | Yes - hold down CTRL to move an existing visualisation to a different place |

In general it is a good strategy to develop a report as a dashboard, and then [export as a standardized report](/v1/docs/dashboard-saving-and-storing) as this then gives both options.

### Creating a Static Standardized Report:

- Access standardized reports under: **Reporting | New Standardized Report**
- Modify layout sizing tools
- **Drag and Drop** onto an **Empty Slot** one of the following
  - Database field
  - Saved report
  - Open Report Tab
- Repeat as necessary until all **Empty Slots** are full
- Save the report.  (This will add the standardized report the reports collection)

### Automation

Standardized script JSON to support automation of standardized reports can be extracted from the Manage Standardized Report dialog by:

1. opening the dialog
2. selecting the report and choosing copy script
3. going to script editor and pasting the clipboard content into the script.

A "Save Standardized Report" method will be added to the script.
