Common Reporting Data and Reports to Get It

We know that everything you do in your job revolves around data. But sometimes knowing what data you should be mining and how to get that data can be a challenge. The resources below were developed to help you find the data you need. If your specific reporting need isn't below, please post your need in the Luminate Online board in the Luminate Community and we'll help you get what you need.

Each reporting topic has a "Granular" section that displays lower-level data that often requires additional filters, queries, tasks or other methods of segmenting. As this page develops we will include instruction to generate the common granular data listed in each section.
