Reports
(Previously Segments) An overview of the Reports on Sprinkle, with a walkthrough on how to use it to generate your reports.
Reports give you the capability to build detailed reports that provide a deep analysis based on various dimensions and measures.
Reports : Explanation & Feature Walkthrough
A Model is needed to create Reports. By choosing dimensions and measures on your model, Reports can be created. Dimensions are used to bucket or group the measures example by country, city, or region.
There can be multiple dimensions in a model, for example, total sales by a country, top 10 users by the sum of sales, etc. Here total sale is a measure, the country is a dimension. By choosing the country as the dimension see the total sales by a country. Thus, multiple Reports can be created from a model.
Quickly generate detailed reports with explicit visualizations from the existing model, with little effort
