The Bridge reporting suite provides powerful tools to customize your reports, allowing you to transform standard data into perfectly tailored views. You can either modify the default Base Report or create and save multiple new Custom Views to fit your specific analytical needs.
This functionality allows you to:
- Adjust the report's content and layout by reordering, adding, or removing columns, applying granular filters, and organizing data with row groups.
- Save multiple unique configurations as named Custom Views and even set one as the new default report for your entire organization.
