Creating custom reports
  • Creating a report category in Report Browser

    In the Report Browser, you can create report categories to help you organize reports. Each report belongs to one category, but you can have report shortcuts to the same report in more than one category.

  • Adding columns to reports

    Extend a report scope by adding a property or a calculation. For example, you can include a calculation that displays the difference in hours, days, or months between two dates of your choice.

  • Duplicating existing reports

    Safely modify report data without affecting the source report by duplicating that report. For example, you can use the data from the original report, but filter or organize the information differently.
