11.5. Custom Reports

We have introduced a new feature called the Flexible reports with which you can generate results for any metric for any counter group with a particular key. This would help users to create their own custom reports based on their needs.

Flexible reports are based on three main parameters like Traffic,Toppers & Volume. Flexi reports work with Report JSON, where a common format is followed. You can refer to that and create your own reports.
