ServiceNow reports are visualizations of your data that you can
share with users on dashboards and service portals, export to PDF, and email. Learn how to
create, run, edit, view, and share reports.  
Note:  
When Next Experience is enabled, you can create reports in Report Designer and [create data visualizations in the Analytics Center](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/cTK92MA3IiY1_3pv041ktA "Data Visualizations use graphics to show table, indicator, and other data. They combine and extend the functions of reports and Performance Analytics widgets from the Core UI."). For more information on Report Designer, see [Create a report](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Ci~f3hMuv1pUdQZFMfjwNA#t_CreateYourOwnReport "Create a report to visualize and analyze current instance data or temporary data that you have imported.").

On net new Xanadu instances and instances migrated to Platform Analytics experience, Reporting functionality is replaced with Data Visualizations. For more information, see [Data visualizations in Platform Analytics](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/cTK92MA3IiY1_3pv041ktA "Data Visualizations use graphics to show table, indicator, and other data. They combine and extend the functions of reports and Performance Analytics widgets from the Core UI.").

To administer reports, reporting roles, and report sources, navigate to ReportsAdministration and select the area to administer.

The ServiceNow system includes a range of predefined reports that provide
data on applications and features like incident management and service catalog requests. You
can also create your own reports. Add reports on dashboards and landing pages to share
information across your organization.
