Creating a New Report in Classic Designer

Use the Classic Designer module to create Designer reports (charts and tables) based on the data available in the current space. A typical report shows one or more measurements grouped by one or more attributes. You can save any report you create in Designer and publish it to a dashboard or schedule it for delivery by email.

To learn about managing existing reports see Managing Existing Designer Reports.
