Users with the appropriate permissions can create new reports. You create or modify reports using a design form called the New Custom Report page. When you create a new report, you start with a blank design form. 

The design form consists of the following six sections:

• Name: Allows you to name the report and specify its availability.
   
• Groups: Allows you to select the information to be included in the report and how the information should be grouped. This section determines the rows that appear in the report.
   
• Data columns: Allows you to select the statistical columns to be included in the report.
   
• Filters: Allows you to select the filters that can be applied to the report.
   
• Format: Allows you to select a format for the report.
   
• Options: Allows you to include the data tracked for content that has been deleted.

Note that you cannot modify the details page of any report.

After making initial selections for each component of the report, you can use the View this Report link on the New Custom Report page to see the resulting data. You can then return to the report design and add or modify the components until you are satisfied with the report design. At any point while you are designing a report, you can save the report, save the report with a new name, or export the report in XML format.

Note: You must enter at least one statistic column to be able to preview a report.
