Create a new custom report from an empty state
You can create a new report from any of the following places in the Shopify admin:
- In Analytics > Reports, click New exploration.
- When customizing the Analytics dashboard, click New exploration in the dashboard library.
Creating a new report begins an empty data exploration. You must add at least 1 metric to begin your data exploration.
Steps:
- From your Shopify admin, go to Analytics > Reports.
- Click New exploration.
- From the configuration panel, in the Metrics menu, click ⊕ to add the first metric to your exploration.
- Use the configuration panel to add additional metrics, dimensions, a comparison, and filters to display the information that you want. You can also click the Visualization menu to select a different visualization for your data.
- After you create your report, click Save.
Create a custom report by modifying an existing default report
If you modify a default report authored by Shopify, then it's considered a custom report.
Steps:
- From your Shopify admin, go to Analytics > Reports.
- Click the name of the default report that you want to customize.
- Use the configuration panel to add or remove metrics, dimensions, a comparison, and filters to display the information that you want. You can also click the Visualization menu to select a different visualization for your data.
- After you modify your report, click Save as.
- In the Save copy as new report dialog, give your custom report a name, and then click Save copy.
