Design your own Custom Report to tell a specific story to your board, organization leadership, or peers about important cybersecurity issues and how your team is responding to them.
Start building your report
Building a Custom Report involves assembling data widgets that are used in our other reports and then filtering the data they contain. These instructions for customization of filters, widgets, and annotation can also be followed when using one of the new reporting templates.
- Go to the Reporting Center and then click Create a Custom Report.
- On the Custom Report landing page, click Edit Mode.
- In Edit Mode, name your report and write a description of the report to begin.
- Once your report is named, click Add Content to begin building your report with widgets.
- To select a widget, scroll through down the widgets panel that appears, or start typing key words in the search bar. Click Add for the widget you want.
- Click into the grey space where the widget appears to show the filter panel.
-
Go to Settings to select filters to extract the data you want.
- Select the Portfolios you want to report on.
- To select date ranges, click the start and end date fields to bring up a calendar, and then click dates.
- Select the Portfolios you want to report on.
- After setting your filters in Report settings, the filter will be set for every widget. You can set widget specific filters in Widget settings.
- Add more widgets and apply filters as desired.
- Make sure your report is named and each section is named as well
- Click Save.
The report will then appear in the Reporting Center under My saved reports. Click the report any time to edit it, adding or removing or moving widgets or changing filters.
Note: Remember to save the report again after making any changes.
Add comments to your report
You can add a custom description to all of your widgets when you are in Edit Mode. These annotations help describe each report and provide greater insights.
Change widget appearance
While building or updating your report you can change the position of widgets or delete them. This is especially useful for improving the appearance of a report with multiple widgets, where you might want to visually emphasize certain widgets.
To change a widget's position, click Sections and order in the settings table. Then select the cluster of grey dots on each section then drag the widget to a new location.
To delete a widget, click the three horizontal dots in the upper-right corner and select Remove Widget when it appears.
Create a new report based on a clone
You can clone a report and then modify it to create a new report based on the original.
This is helpful when you want to create multiple variants of a report without having to completely create new custom reports. For example, you may want to report on the most prevalent issues for different Scorecards within the same time period.
To clone a report:
- Click the report in the Reporting Center to open it.
- Click Clone above the filter panel.
- Modify widgets and filters as desired.
- Rename the clone and click Save.
The cloned report appears in the Reporting Center under My saved reports.

Understand how filters work
To help you get the data you want from Customer Reports, be aware of some characteristics of how filters work.
Data must match all filter criteria
All filters in a report have an and relationship, meaning the results must match all the criteria if there is no data that matches all filter criteria, no data appears.
New Portfolios need 24 hours to show data
If you do not see data for a new Portfolio, make sure to allow 24 hours for data to populate after creating that Portfolio.
Data varies at different points in time
If you do not see data, try changing start and end dates to capture different time windows. For example, increasing the time range can increase the likelihood of data appearing.
