Create and manage custom reports

The new console allows you to create custom reports to track and visualize your data. You can create a custom report from scratch, or duplicate and edit a prebuilt report.

You can manage reports created in the original console in the new console, and vice versa. However, the following limitations apply:

• When viewed in the new console, reports from the original console don’t display the Not marked field.
• The following filters are not compatible across the two consoles:
  • New console: The Operator is set to a range when Filters is set to a date format such as Registration date.
  • Original console: The Condition Type is set to Variable when Filters is set to Date format.

Create a custom report

To create a custom report:

1. Go to the Reports page. By default, the page opens on the CUSTOM REPORTS tab. Click CREATE REPORT.

2. The Create Report screen opens. First set the Basic report information:

   • Report title – Enter a title for the report.
   • Data source – The category for the report. You can pick from App, Device, Group, Organization, or User.
   • Select data sub-category — Narrows down the Data source to a specific sub-category. The options are dependent on the Data source selected. For instance, if you selected Device, options include Security status and License.

   If the Data source is set to App and the data sub-category is set to Information installed in device, the table chart can display up to 100,000 data points. Admins can see all data points by downloading the report.

3. Configure the Chart settings:

   • Chart type – The type of chart displayed in the report. Select one of the following tiles: Table, Bar, Stacked bar, Row, Stacked row, Pie, Donut, or Line. Hover over each tile to see a short description of the chart’s design.

• Chart text – Toggle the following options on or off based on your preference for how the chart displays text. The options available differ depending on the Chart type selected.
  • Show chart title
  • Show axis labels
  • Show legend

4. Configure the Report settings:

   • Dimensions — The categories that describe the chosen insights in the Measures field. Select an option from the drop-down. Click to add an additional dimension, or click to delete one. Available options depend on the Data source selected. See Report queries for a list of all available options. The following conditions apply:
     • Except for the table chart, all charts can display up to 1,000 data points only for the Dimensions field.
     • For the Bar, Stacked bar, Row, Stacked Row, and Line charts, you can’t add more than one dimension.
     • The Package dimension is only supported if the app package name matches what is added to your console.
   • Measures and Calculation — Configure the quantities of data (Measures), and the aggregation method (Calculations) based on the selected Data source. Click the icon to add an additional measure, or click to delete one. Options for both are dependent on the Data source selected.
     • Measures include data insights collected by Knox Manage like App size or Device count.
     • Calculations include the Average, Sum, Maximum, Minimum, and Count values for each data insight.

   For the Pie and Donut charts, you can’t add more than one measure.

   • Filters — Sets a filter to only include data that meets a certain criteria. Define the Category, Operator, and Variable fields. Click + Add filter to add another filter.

   Filters can be customized between admins. This means that if one admin creates the report with the first filter configuration, a second admin can edit the report to see a different filter configuration. When the first admin views the report, they see the first filter configuration, whereas when the second admin views the report, they see the second filter configuration.

   However, if a report is scheduled to be emailed to admins, this filter customization doesn’t apply. Only the filters configured, or later edited, by the admin who created the report are applied to emailed reports.

   • Sort data – Select whether you want to sort data in ascending or descending order: Most to least or Least to most.

5. Once all the required fields are filled, you can PREVIEW the report. The chosen data from your tenant is automatically organized and displayed in the selected chart type. Once the report is finished, click CREATE.

The report is created.

Once you create a report, you can view it from the Reports page. At the top of the page, you can search for a particular report by its name or the IT admin who created it.

View details and manage a report

You can view more information about a report in its details. To view a report’s details:
