Think of building a report as answering a question or "Running a Query." The simpler the question is, the easier the answer will be to retrieve and visualize. You can build several reports and group them together in a Dashboard to visualize the answers to many questions in one place.
The first step in building in a report is to Choose an Explore - Daasity has pre-built Explores for you to choose from - or for More Advanced Users - you can Build your Own Explores or Modify Daasity's Explores. Certain Integrations have dedicated Explores as well.
Choosing the correct Explore is important when building a report. The Dimensions and Measuesr in each Explore or unique, and specific for the type of report you can create.
You can also go Directly to Choose An Explore by Clicking on Explore in the Visualization section of the left-hand Navigation.
Enterprise Merchants in Looker can go directly to their Explore section and choose an Explore.
When Choosing an Explore we recommend for your first report to use a common Explore such as Order & Order Line Revenue or Transactional Sales Report. Please read this help desk page To Understand the difference between these two Explores.
You can Use a Pre-Existing Report as a Starting Point when Building a New Report. To Do so, Click the ellipses (three vertical dots) located in the top-right corner of every report tile. and Click Explore From Here
When you "Explore From Here' You will be taken to the Pre-built Report. You can edit the report and
Save as a New Report
Save to New Dashboard
Save to an Existing Dashboard
This will NOT affect the original Report. - The original Report will remain in-tact.
Date (Example: Past 7 Days)
Date Comparisons (Example: Week over Week)
SKU Attributes (Example: Product Categories)

For example:

You can edit the Visualization, change colors, axis, how many rows to display etc.
