• Dashboards
  • Quiver dashboards are read-only, interactive views containing charts and data from your analysis. Quiver dashboards can be used as standalone dashboards or embedded in other Foundry applications.

• Visual functions
  • Visual functions are reusable blocks of logic built using Quiver’s point-and-click interface. These functions can be used multiple times within the same or other Quiver analyses and shared with other users for their own Quiver analyses.
