Creating A New Report From Scratch
Building A New Report
- Once you open up the new reporting interface, click on the + icon beside the reports heading
- Now click on "Blank Report" & give your report a name & a description
- Now from the top right corner, choose a date range from the available options or set your own custom time period
- Once you've set the date, it's time to add your first widget, so click on the add widget icon beside the date selector
- Start by giving it a name & selecting a visualization method
- Now let's select the metric(data). You can search for metrics in the search bar and display multiple metrics in a single widget.
- Your widget starts building up and a preview is displayed on the right side. All the changes you make are displayed in real-time.
- Depending on the metric type you'll see the option to get the "AVG" or "SUM" values.
- Now proceed to add a dimension to your widget. Dimensions help break down data on the basis of social profiles, date & more depending on the metric
- If you wish to filter out the data for a particular social profile, network, or agent, you can do so via the filters dropdown

You'll be now redirected to your reporting dashboard with the widget you just now created neatly placed.
