Creating a report

1. Go to Decision Hub > Reports > New report.
2. Enter the name of the report.
3. Optionally, to let other users know about the purpose of the analysis, write a short description.
4. Select a metric on the basis of which the report is created. To do so, click the Choose metric and from the dropdown list, select a metric.
   Refer to the table in the “Allowed metrics” section to become familiar with the limits and constraints.
5. To choose the type of results you want to generate in the report, click the button in the Range section. From a dropdown list select either top (receiving the highest results) or last results (last meaning recent).
6. To choose the aspects of data from the metrics (dates, names, quantity, and more) you want to include in the report, click the Choose dimension button.
   Refer to the table in the “Allowed metrics” section to become familiar with the allowed dimensions for the metric you selected in the step 4.
7. If you want to add a time context to display the dates when the event occurred, click Add dimension. Then go to Events > Expressions. From the list of expressions, select an event expression.
   
   Tip: You can create an event expression which uses one of the following expression functions: Day of month, Day of week, Day of year
8. To turn off the null values (to increase the readability of the analysis), switch the Show null values option off.
9. If you want to narrow down the scope of the metric data, click the Enable filter option. This filter works as an additional condition.
10. To determine the time range from which the data will be analyzed, click the calendar and define the date filter.
    Important: The date range in the report doesn’t have to overlap the date range in the metric.
11. To complete the process, click the Save button.
