8. Now that your report has been generated, it's time to check out your "Advanced" settings. Here you can drag & drop your columns to reorganize, filter & customize columns, & save this report for future use.
To group data by report fields, switch over to the "Advanced" tab & expand the "Grouping" section. You can select by one or multiple Report Fields to group by. Please note, that you can only choose the Report Fields you have already added in the Fields Section. If you have selected multiple, you can reorganize the hierarchy using Drag and Drop.
To show dependents data expand the "Show Dependents" section. You can enable this setting to show Dependent information in a subordinate table.
To show data as of a certain date or to view historical data, expand the "Display" section. Here you will see a few options. The default selection is "As of Today" - meaning that this will show all data as of Today.
The next option in this section is "Time Machine" - this is similar to our "As of Today" filter, however instead of showing data as of the day you're pulling the report, you can customize the date and select a date other than Today.
If you select Custom Dates, a single calendar selector appears so that you can choose those custom dates.
The final option here is to "Show Change History". This presents a dropdown that allows you to select a date and view each change made for a team member during the selected time period. For more information on the "Show Change History" option, check out this help article.
Lastly in your "Advanced" settings, you can review your Permissions for this report.
8. Check out the "Visualization" tab to create graphs and visuals for your report. For more information on visual graphs - check out this help article!
Once your report is complete, you can either exit this report or save it for future use!
⭐ Please note that if you exit without saving, you will not be able to return to this report as it is a "One-Time Report".
Once this report has been saved, you will see it under the Custom Reports section of the Reports app. You can now view this report at any time with refreshed data.
Happy Reporting! 📊
