Create a New Report

The Create a New Report page provides multiple ways to start building a report, either from existing data stores or by uploading new files.

The Create New Report drawer opens once a user has accessed the Report module (see Accessing the Report Module). From here, users provide report details and choose a data source to begin the reporting workflow.

Create New Report Workflow

  1. Navigate to the Create New Report page.

  2. Provide the following details:

    • Name – Enter a unique name for the report.

    • Description – Add an optional description for context.

  3. Select a data source option:

    • Existing Data Store

    • Upload CSV file

    • Upload Excel file

Based on the option selected, additional configuration steps are displayed.

Supported Data Sources

Existing Data Store

  • Select from previously created or shared data stores.

  • Recommended when the dataset has already been cleaned, transformed, and validated for reporting.

Upload CSV File

  • Upload a CSV file directly from your local machine.

  • The system generates a temporary data store for reporting.

Upload Excel File

  • Upload an Excel file to create a new data store.

  • Supports multiple sheets where applicable.

Using a Data Sandbox File

In addition to the standard options, reports can also be created from a Data Store generated using a Data Sandbox file. This enables advanced data preparation workflows before reporting.

Workflow:

  1. Upload a Sandbox file (or reuse an existing one).

  2. Apply Data Preparation transforms on the Sandbox file.

  3. Create a Data Store from the transformed Sandbox data.

  4. On the Create New Report page, select the newly created Data Store.

  5. Build the report using this clean, prepared dataset.

Note: Refer to Creating a New Report Based on a Data Sandbox Data Store with Data Preparations for the detailed step-by-step process.

Next Steps

  • Once the data source is selected, proceed to create views and save them to the report.

  • Add multiple views (charts, tables, KPIs) under the same report for consolidated analysis.

  • Save the report in My Documents or Public Documents, depending on intended usage and permissions.
