# 1. Create bridge A bridge is a workspace environment where you can integrate multiple reports from different data sources and transform them as required. Each bridge has a data transformation editor interface. This unified interface enables data consolidation, real-time planning, and collaboration. A bridge can be created in two ways: from an Inforiver report, or the console. Both are explained below: ## 1. Creating bridges from an Inforiver report **STEP 1:** Login to your Inforiver visual. **STEP 2:** Click **Create Bridge** from the **InfoBridge** tab**.** Enter a name for the bridge and select the destination folder in your workspace. Click Next.

**STEP 3:** Select the measures and scenarios required for the bridge. This allows you to regulate how much data you want to expose in a bridge.

**STEP 4:** After you confirm that the bridge can be created from the visual, you will automatically be redirected to Infobridge. You can rename the bridge by clicking the

icon. When you hover over the query name, you'll see options to rename/delete/re-run the job/duplicate the query, etc.

From the console You can also create a new bridge from the console and then add source reports to it. 1. Select **InfoBridge** from the left-side dropdown menu in the console.

2. Click **Add Bridge** to create a new bridge.

3. Enter the bridge name in the pop-up window and click **Add**.

4. A new bridge is created as shown below, where you can start adding the source reports. The steps to add a source are explained in [this section](https://docs.inforiver.com/infobridge-wb-matrix-only/2.-add-source-to-bridge).

In the upcoming sections, we will explore how to add sources to the bridge, integrate sources into a target visual, and manage integrations.
