The ASK BOSCO® platform just got even better with the release of Report Builder — a powerful, intuitive feature designed to simplify how you create and customize your reports. Report Builder empowers you to turn your data into meaningful insights effortlessly. Let’s explore how it works.
Two Ways to Build Reports
You now have two distinct ways to create reports in ASK BOSCO®:
1. Use the ASK BOSCO AI Search
Under the Reporting section in the navigation menu, you can access the ASK BOSCO® AI Search. This feature allows you to ask business questions in natural language. For example:
“What were my top-performing channels last month?”
The AI Search will process your query, generate the corresponding results, and automatically open Report Builder. From here, you can refine and edit your report as needed.
2. Go Directly to Report Builder
Alternatively, you can head straight to Report Builder within the platform. This option allows you to skip the question-asking process and dive right into creating your report. It’s a perfect choice for users who know exactly what they need.
Key Features of Report Builder
Report Builder offers a wealth of functionality to make your reporting experience seamless and efficient:
- Select the Appropriate Dataset
You can browse all available datasets on the left-hand side of the Report Builder. Each dataset is linked to specific report types, and to ensure comprehensive insights, we recommend using the AI dataset as a catch-all for all metrics.
- Explore Metrics and Attributes
Once you’ve chosen your dataset, you can view all the metrics and attributes available for building your report. Double-check that you’re using the correct data by glancing at the dataset name displayed at the top of the interface.
- Customize Your Reports
Flexibility is at the core of Report Builder. You can:
- Select and Filter Metrics: Choose specific metrics, apply filters (e.g., including PPC and excluding others), and update your graphs in real time.
- Customize Graphs: Switch between different visualizations such as line graphs, bar charts, and tables. You can also modify chart configurations, swap axes, or add elements like regression lines and gridlines.
- Add Visual Enhancements: Use settings to apply labels, slice data by colour, and more.
Pin Your Graphs to Dashboards
When you’re satisfied with your report, you can pin it to a dashboard. This feature enables you to create recurring monthly reports that auto-generate and are stored in your reporting library for quick access.
Why Use Report Builder?
The Report Builder is designed to make reporting more accessible and less dependent on AI questions. Here’s why we think you’ll love it:
- Efficiency: Quickly create reports by selecting the right datasets and metrics without starting from scratch.
- Customisation: Tailor your visualisations to suit your needs and preferences.
- Integration: Seamlessly incorporate reports into your dashboards for ongoing monitoring.
