The primary tab of the Benchtop Workspace view is the interactive Report tab, which is a canvas of fully customizable widgets enabling you to generate reproducible, relevant, and visually informative reports.
There are three types of reporting widgets:
Stats - for at-a-glance metrics such as accuracy and concordance, or for summary statistics reflecting the level of difference between datasets or diversity within an individual dataset.
Charts - Including box-plots, histograms, heatmaps, scatterplots, and column charts - for visually inspecting the distribution of data in a column or comparing between datasets, and optionally grouping by additional columns to provide deeper context.
Tables - Including comparison tables showing individual results which are missing from either the baseline or test dataset, differences between matched results at an individual result level, or subsets of either dataset based on custom queries.

Adding Widgets
Add new widgets from the Widget Controls panel. You can add individual widgets or use the Quick Reports and Data Distributions to get a quick overview of your data and determine which widgets may be most impactful for your report as a starting point. These quick batch reports are also a great way to quickly diagnose differences in your data.
Adding Individual Widgets
The + Add Widget button opens to the full widget configuration UI. There are many options to explore for each of the widget types. Beyond the high-level configuration (e.g. whether it applies to the Baseline, Test, or Both datasets and which items to summarize on), there are many parameters that can be tuned.

Quick Reports
Auto Report - generates a fresh auto-generated report by randomly selecting numerical and categorical columns to highlight, in addition to accuracy stats. Good to use as a starting point for a robust report.
Quick Accuracy - shows just the basics - the four key benchmarking stats.
Quick Diffs - allows you to quickly see where there are differences between the datasets.
Data Distributions
Baseline - quickly view all numeric properties for the Baseline dataset in a series of histograms.
Test - quickly view all numeric properties for the Test dataset in a series of histograms.
Both - view histograms of distributions of all numeric properties for both datasets side-by-side, for like-columns.
Compare - compare distributions of numeric properties in paired boxplots.
Each of these views can also be modified by the Chart Grouper selector below it, which dictates whether they are displayed as overall distributions or grouped by a categorical column.

Modifying Widgets
Edit
The editor UI for any widget can be accessed by clicking the Edit button, shown in the top right when you hover over the widget. This gives you full access over the contents of the widget itself.
Duplicate
Click the Duplicate button at the top right of a widget card to create a carbon-copy of the widget. This can be very useful if you want to make a series of widgets that are very similar, with slight changes -- just make a copy and then modify the setting.
Refresh
Click the Refresh button to reload the widget. This can be useful if there is an error in loading or you have made changes to the report that impacted its display.
Remove
To remove a widget, simply click the red X button at the top right of the widget body.
