Reports are created by adding multiple fields that together will provide meaningful
data.
Examples of fields include Content Type, Site ID and Username. Each report should also include a measure field, which differs from the standard fields, see Creating custom Analytics reports for more.
You can create a report without any knowledge of field types, but knowing how field types work can help you understand how different charts display data and how filters work together.
Tip: In the Fields panel on the custom reports screen you can hover over a field to
find out more about it. An information box pops up with a Tell me more
option.
When fields have been added to the Layout panel you can click their 
button to show a list of further options.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Edit | Rename the field, applies to this report only. |
| Also Show | Add related fields to the report that are part of the same field hierarchy. Field hierarchies link related fields together, such as Content Type and Content Group. |
| Show Properties | Some fields have properties that can also be displayed in reports. Click Show Properties and click on a property to select / deselect it for inclusion in the report. |
| Hyperlink | Gives you the options to add links into reports that will open a SkyVault report or a website. |
| Filter | Filtering fields lets you limit the data that is displayed in a report, see Filtering fields in Analytics reports. |
| Top 10, etc... | Filter fields based on quantity, see Filtering fields in Analytics reports. |
| Sort A - Z | Sort the report alphanumerically. |
| Sort Z - A | Reverse the sort order. |
| Show Subtotals | Where available you can select to show subtotals for the field in the report. |
| Tell me about | Displays more information on the field. |
| Remove from Report | Removes the field from the report the same as dragging a field to the trash can. |
