When creating a new analysis, you can choose between three analysis types, each designed for different use cases and levels of complexity. All three types support saving and sharing analyses as resources.
| Quiver analysis | Time series analysis | Object set path analysis | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Analytical flexibility | High | Low | Low |
| Available data | All | Time series | Objects |
| Complexity | Medium | Low | Low |
| Dashboard building | Yes | No | No |
| Convert to Quiver | — | Yes | Yes |
Time series analysis and object set path analysis resources can be converted to a Quiver analysis using the Open in Quiver option. This creates a new Quiver analysis with the same data and configuration. Note that Quiver analyses cannot be converted to the simplified analysis types, and changes made to the new Quiver analysis will not be reflected in the original object set path or time series analysis.
Quiver analyses provide a robust suite of analytical capabilities, including support for both object and time series data, a comprehensive library of cards for data transformation and visualization, and the ability to create interactive dashboards.

A time series analysis provides a streamlined interface focused on ad-hoc time series analysis. It is designed for users who want to quickly visualize and compare time series data without the full complexity of a Quiver analysis.

An object set path analysis provides a streamlined interface for investigating object data through a sequence of cards that filter, transform, and visualize an input object set. It is designed for users who want to perform simple, ad-hoc analysis on object data without the full complexity of a Quiver analysis.
