When analyzing the metrics for your learning initiatives, you may want to isolate certain data points for review. The reporting function allows you to create reports highlighting specific areas or overall trends within your Showpad Coach account. Creating these custom report types can save you time as you can reuse them later and compare results over time. You can also schedule them to run automatically and be emailed to you. Certain criteria are available depending on the report type and you can choose to include all or some of those in your custom report. Perhaps you want to see the average course score among all users or you’d like to determine which courses are engaging them the most. Gathering answers to those questions is easily accomplished by configuring the appropriate report type. 

Report data is refreshed every hour, on the hour. For example, if you pull a report at 10:15 am, your data will be from 10:00 am. It will refresh again at 11:00 am and may include new updates.
