Create custom reports
In this guide, you'll learn how to create custom reports, helping you make informed decisions with data that matters most to you.
Customize the report view
Tailor your reports by adjusting how data is grouped, selecting which columns to display, setting the date range, applying default filters, and visualizing data with charts.
You can customize reports using the below filters:
- Grouping:
Organize data based on specific criteria like service type, staff member, or client to analyze patterns and trends. - Columns:
Display only the data relevant to your analysis by including or excluding specific fields in the report view. - Date picker:
Define the time frame for your report, whether daily, weekly, monthly, or custom periods. - Default filters:
Automatically include or exclude data sets based on criteria like services, staff, or locations to focus on the most relevant information. - Charts:
Visualize your data with charts to easily spot trends, compare metrics, and gain insights. Various chart types are available.
Create new custom reports
Creating new custom reports allows you to tailor data insights to your specific needs.
- From the main menu on the left of your screen, go to Reports.
- In the top right corner, click on the Add button to create a custom report.
- Use the search bar at the top to enter the name or description of the report you want to use as a template, and select the report. Click on the Continue button in the top-right corner to proceed.
- In the next step, you can enter a new name and description for the report. By default, the template will have "copy" added to the report name so that you can tell them apart from the original.

- In the top right corner, click on the Add button to save your report.
- From the right menu tab, use the Customize menu to tailor the report to your needs. Open each filter tab and select the data you want to include, making sure the areas you’d like to see in the report are checked.
