Earlier in this chapter, we touched on Watson Analytics Collections. We showed how to save our visualization as an asset for later use. You can save assets similarly from Explore, Predict, and Assemble.

But what is Assemble? We haven't covered it yet. You use the Assemble capability in Watson Analytics to convey the analysis and insights discovered in Predict and Explore. You can use Assemble to assemble Watson assets, as well as external files (such as images), into Watson interactive views. Views can be either dashboards or stories and can be easily shared with others.

Dashboards display a particular view while stories deal with time or state; in other words, you would expect a story to depict a change over a period of time, or a before-and-after state of something. The best way to learn is to do, so in the next section, we will create a dashboard to show our supply chain insight!
