What is a custom report?
Custom reports are used to pull data from across all or some of your campaigns, surveys, contacts and more.
A number of pre-built configurations have been setup to make it easy for you to run the reports as is, or edit and choose specific parameters based on your needs. You can also setup custom reports to automatically run on a specific schedule (for example, to send a report of key statistics each month) and email the link to download the latest report.
