The report types that are available to choose from are:

  • Single metric deep dive report
    To create granular reports on a single metric (e.g., Placed Order); you can then hone in on trends and patterns for this specific aspect of your business.
  • Multi-metric report
    To create a cross-functional report that lets you understand your performance across multiple metrics.
  • Campaign performance report
    To analyze campaign performance across the key metrics that are important to you.
  • Flows performance report
    To gain a deeper understanding of overall or granular flow performance across your key metrics.
  • Product performance report
    To analyze product performance across three key funnel metrics: browse, checkout, and purchase.

5. Give your report a name. 
6. There are additional options to filter and group your reports by various properties. You can also select a specific timeframe to focus on to get even more granular in your analysis. The example below is from a single metric deep dive report. 

Note that when using custom date ranges, the maximum time range is 2 years. If you attempt to create a report with over 2 worth of data, an error will appear.

6. Once you have chosen your report and applicable filters or groups, click Run Report.

Please note that timestamp data within your reports, including exported reports, will display in your account's local time from your settings.

Custom reports only include events filtered by a profile property starting after that property was created. Even if a property was retroactively applied to profiles, if the property didn’t exist on profiles at the time the event (e.g. Placed Order) takes place then this won't appear in the report. This differs from segments, as they will include profiles who have properties applied retroactively.
