What is the new report base?

We are moving the Connect reports to a new reporting base that uses better reporting tools and a new look and feel. These improvements will make it easier to create reports and decrease the time it takes to generate a report. With each release, a few reports in each application will be updated with the new report base until all of the reports have been updated to the new report base.
