Tables allow you to view a simple representation of data fields and measures. Tables are also an easy way to retrieve lists of information.
Ad Hoc Views allow you to visualise and analyse the data you capture for your organisation.
Ad Hoc Views can be viewed in the Community BI system or in reports and dashboard.
