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. To customize your reports, you need to upgrade to Insights.
You can customize reports using the filters below:
- 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.
