Create and view custom reports in Optimizely Data Platform (ODP) Lite to gain insights on customer behavior.

Report elements

All custom reports (created by going to Company > Reports > New Report) have the report elements described below.

Filter options

1. Expression Filter

An event must match the expression to be included in the report.

2. Date Range

The date range refines the results of the report's expression further. 

Use the link icon to compare two different date ranges. This comparison is reflected in the graph but does not affect the table. The table only reflects values from the primary date range.

3. Simple Filter  

The simple filter allows you to select a field and specify a value. This filter applies to all events included in the report's expression.

Time-series graph

Select Hour, Day, Week, or Month to determine how the date range displays on the x-axis of the time-series graph.

Report table

The report table displays below the time-series graph. This is where the name of the report displays along with the results of the filter options. Click Column(s) to select the fields for which you want to view the report results.

You can also use a rocket column, which allows you to craft a powerful expression sentence to further segment your results. The default column of events and data displays when another field is selected.
