Reports
Menu Reports is used to define the conditions under which it generates a report with the required data.
The generated reports are automatically saved and can be found in Analysis -> Reports section, on top of Reports page, while the reports definition can be seen on bottom. This allows you to set up the generation of any reports that are required. The whole idea is based on the fact you can select a source of report, such as Dashboard, Visualisation or Saved search from Discover. Then you can use this as a template for creating a new report. The generated report can be in PDF or PNG format and contains the data as is presented in Dashboard. If the generated report does not satisfy your needs, you must open the desired source (dashboard, visualisation…), make the required changes and save it with the same name. Then an updated source will be used to generate next report.
