# Storyboard

The user can add multiple Views on a single screen signified as a Storyboard. They can add any number of Views based on various data stores on a single storyboard. The users can create a new View, apply Global Filter, and save an altered View using the storyboard. The user can instantly modify themes, avail data drill, and export a business story to the desired format all from this single screen.  The user can further instantly add a new View using the Search option provided on the vertical panel of the Storyboard.
