Reporting - Start a new User-created report

*** Please note, this article refers to the All-new Reporting and Analytics. View the FAQ for more details. ***

In this article, we’ll see how to get started if you want to build a report of your own.

In many cases, the fixed reports will provide the answer you need, however, there may be times when a new 'User-created' report is required. For example, you may have custom user fields against which you want to build a matrix visualisation, or perhaps there are some key measures available in a dataset that you want to put the front of your own report dashboard.
