Managing the Custom Report tab


The Analytics section in the event creation flow includes the Custom Report tab. In this tab, event organizers can create and download custom attendee reports by selecting the metrics that they want. Hosts can generate a list of participants that is tailored to their needs and specific criteria, and hosts can leverage this list for follow-up actions.

Hosts can save generated reports and edit saved reports. Hosts can also save the custom report filter combinations that they have created.
