Creating a report
Best Practices
When new to creating reports, plan out your report on paper first.
When adding a new field in Studio, it might not show up in Reports right away. You might need to close your browser and reopen.
Create a Role for all users that doesn’t allow anyone to Edit or Delete other user’s reports.
Instead of creating reports from scratch, copy an existing report.
Future of Reports
Enhanced Sorting and Grouping Options
Ability for users to schedule and publish reports to others
Ability to summarize the Activity data from multiple modules ( Calls, Emails, Meetings, Notes and Tasks)
Enhanced relationship handling
