Overview
Liongard's Reports allows users to easily create, save, and schedule reports using Liongard's Metrics. Reports can be created from user-generated templates or for one-time use. The Reports feature can be found in the Liongard toolbar.
Types of Reports
Reports can be created for one-time use or from a report template. If a report is going to be used on a recurring basis, creating a report template will shorten the time necessary to regenerate the report. All reports in Liongard can also be scheduled to generate automatically.
Report Templates
Report templates make building repeatable reports easier. Your team can build one template with the desired Metrics, save it, and reuse it to create Reports over and over again.
Default Templates
There are several default Liongard templates in the report template library. Input "Liongard" into the Created By field to see all of the available Report Templates
To edit Liongard created templates, you must clone the template.
