Reports
Build reports by dragging fields, add conditions, show results as a table or chart, then save, share, export or pin them to your dashboard.
Reports is a module. If Reports isn't in your menu, an owner or admin can turn it on in Settings → Modules.
Who can do it:
| Task | Owner | Admin | Member |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build, run and save reports | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Run, export, pin or copy a shared report | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Edit or share a report | The report's owner | The report's owner | The report's owner |
| Delete a shared report | Yes | Yes | Only their own |
| Restore a report from Trash | Yes (shared ones) | Yes (shared ones) | Their own |
Reports only ever read your workspace's live records. They never change anything.
Start a report
- Click Reports, then New report.
- Under Start from a source, pick what to report on: Deals, Contacts, Companies, Tasks, Activities, Emails or Campaign recipients. (Some need their module on. Emails covers metadata only, never content.)
- Or pick a template under Or start from a template:
- Pipeline by stage
- Won deals by month
- Deals by owner
- Win rate by owner
- Overdue tasks by assignee
- Activities by type per week
- New contacts by source
- Email replies by month
- Campaign results
Build it
Drag fields from Fields (use Search fields to find one) into the zones:
| Zone | What it does |
|---|---|
| Columns | A list of records, up to 12 fields |
| Group by | Up to 2 levels; dates by day, week, month, quarter or year |
| Values | Up to 6: count, sum, average, min, max, ratios |
| Split by | One field: chart series, or a table's columns (a pivot) |
| Filters | Only matching records; up to 25 conditions |
Without dragging: use a field's Add ‹field› to… menu. Or, with the keyboard, press Space on a field, use ←/→ to choose a zone, and Space to drop. Use Move up, Move down and Remove inside a zone.
On a phone the builder goes in steps: Fields, Layout, Filters, Chart, Results.
Conditions
- In Filters, choose Match: "all of these (AND)" or "any of these (OR)".
- Click + Condition and pick a field and operator. Add OR group / AND group to nest (up to 3 levels).
Operators depend on the field: text (is, contains, starts with, is empty…), numbers and money (=, ≠, >, ≥, <, ≤, between), dates (is on, before, after, between, is in a period like This month or Last quarter, in the last / next N days), choices (is any of, is none of), people (is me, is any of) and yes/no.
Report weeks start on Monday (the calendar's start on Sunday).
Values and ratios
- Click Count records, or drag a field into Values and pick Count, Count distinct, Sum, Average, Min or Max.
- Choose A ratio (%) to divide one value by another, for example won deals ÷ closed deals for a win rate. A zero denominator shows "—".
- Only where… limits one value to records matching a condition.
Highlight values
Under Highlight values, click + Highlight rule: "When ‹value› ‹comparison› ‹amount› show as Positive / Warning / Negative". Up to 10 rules.
Show as
Pick Table, Bar, Horizontal bar, Stacked bar, Line, Area, Pie, Donut, Funnel or Number. Fifi marks one as Suggested. A table with Split by becomes a pivot. Charts have Show as table / Show as chart.
Drill down
Click a group, value, bar or slice to see Records: …, the records behind it.
Save and share
- Click Save report.
- Enter a Name and an optional Description.
- Under Who can see it, choose:
- Only me: nobody else sees it, runs it or finds it in search;
- Everyone in the workspace: anyone can run it, change its filters for their own run and save a copy. Only you edit it.
- Save.
Saved reports are under My reports and Shared on the Reports page, and in ⌘K search.
Other buttons on a saved report:
- Save as copy: makes a private "Copy of ‹name›" that's yours.
- Export CSV: up to 10,000 rows. Exports are in the activity log.
- Pin to dashboard / Unpin.
- Details (owner only): rename, describe, share.
- Delete: goes to Settings → Trash for 30 days and comes off every dashboard.
Limits
- A report has 5 seconds to run. Slow ones say "This report takes a while, so it runs when you ask." and show Run report.
- Lists show up to 10,000 rows, 50 to a page. Grouped reports show up to 1,000 groups. Charts show the top 50 groups, then "Other". Split by keeps its top 12 values.
- 60 runs a minute per person.
Troubleshooting
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| "This report took longer than 5 seconds. Add filters, or group by fewer or coarser fields, and try again." | Narrow the report. |
| "Too many report runs. Wait a minute, then try again." | Wait a minute. |
| "Something went wrong. Please try again." | Fifi may be busy running other reports; try again in a minute. |
| "Those records can't be listed: pick one group, bar or slice." | "Other" can't be drilled into. |
| "This report's records are turned off for this workspace." | The source's module is off. |
| "Ask an admin to restore this" | Only the report's owner or an admin can restore it. |
