# Exploring reporting

Reporting functionality is available by default for all tables, except for system tables.

## Reporting overview

**Note:** On net new Australia 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://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/analytics-center-data-visualizations.md).

Core UI Reporting functionality is in maintenance mode and is no longer being augmented or changed. Only security fixes to this feature will be addressed.

ServiceNow® enables you to create and distribute reports that show the current state of instance data, such as the number of open incidents of each priority.

## Reporting workflow

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.
