Create a custom report

  • Updated

Users can create custom reports for different scopes of data, depending on their role:

  • Platform admins can export data for all users across the platform.
  • Group admins can export data for members of their groups and subgroups.
  • Coaches can export data for members of their groups.
  • Editors can export data for users who've taken their courses, within groups where they are an editor.
  • Managers can export data about the users they manage.
  • Instructors can export data for all users who've played training content in the path sessions they instruct, regardless of their group.

For more information about who can see which data on the platform, see Statistics visibility. This feature is accessible only on the web app.

Platform admins, group admins, coaches, editors, and managers can export a variety of custom reports from the export interface.

You can also open the custom report creation page with pre-filled filters directly from the course statistics page. For more information, see Track course statistics.

If your company has activated extended visibility, group admins and coaches can access statistics for more content, without seeing more user data.
