How To Create A Report Using A Template?

Go to Reports from the sidebar.
Click Create a new report.

Select Use a template. The Add a New Report window will open.
Browse the templates from the left panel and select one. Click Use template.

Edit the Report name if needed. You can also change the icon.
Add a Report description.
Select Data sources. All data sources are selected by default. Deselect any you don't need.
Click Add collaborator to add team members. Assign them Edit or View permission.

Users with Admin level or above can view and edit all reports without being added as collaborators.

You can also use AI to automatically generate widgets, a faster way to get the right metrics on your dashboard without manually configuring everything. Learn more about adding widgets to a report.

How To Read A Report: Switching And Adding Sections

Once you've decided on the template settings, the data dashboard will begin generating immediately, filling the screen with data according to the template.

Sections are the key element in a report for grouping related widgets. Each section is organized around a particular theme or analytical point, and the widgets placed within it visualize data related to that theme.

If there are multiple sections, you can click on each section to switch between them and view or edit the data in that section.
Hover over the section name. A drag icon will appear, allowing you to rearrange sections by dragging and dropping.

Report Data Acquisition Period (Optional)

Set the range of report data to be retrieved. By default, it is set to the last week.
If necessary, you can also set a comparison period to compare the data.
Open the date picker in the upper right corner. The calendar dialog will appear with these options:
- Yesterday's data
- Data from the last 7 days
- Data for the past 30 days
- Last month's data
- This month's data
- Custom Period

If you want to compare specific data, check the comparison period setting and add the period to compare.

Change The Data Source (Optional)

When generating a template, you can optionally select the data source that will be the source of the data, but you can also change the data source on a dashboard-by-dashboard basis at any time after the report is generated.

If you want to view reports using only a specific data source, use the sorting and filtering functions in the widget settings to narrow down the data source.

How Is The Report Data Structured?

To see the metrics and dimensions used in any widget, hover over the top-right corner of the widget to reveal the menu. Click Widget settings to open the widget configuration form.

FAQs

Can I edit a template after applying it?

Yes. Once you create a report from a template, everything is fully editable. You can add, remove, or resize widgets, change the date range, and update data sources at any time.

Can I use the same template for multiple reports?

Yes. You can apply the same template as many times as you need. Each report created from a template is independent.

Can Regular Users create reports from templates?
