Fields: Generating usage reports

You can generate reports in a variety of formats, using all of the data that you have imported into your system. The reports can then be printed or downloaded as spreadsheets. Use usage reports to help you analyze the data for a platform for a larger amount of time than the data from a single import can provide. For example, you can use the Provider Rollup report to see the statistics across multiple platforms for an entire year.
