# What is Story?

Story module enables business users with ad-hoc and self-service reporting capabilities. By leveraging this module any business user with minimum IT skills can create visualizations, reports, and business stories in real-time. This is also integrated with BDB NLP-based search which makes it easy for the business users to develop pioneering insights. The entire process of creating a story out of the selected data is easy, quick, and exciting. The users can choose a data source, drag and drop the required values (Dimensions/Measures), and get promptly generated views based on the selected data values. The users can save relevant views on the storyboard to create their personalized stories.​
