BI & Reports

Dashboards & reports

Build role-based dashboards, organize them in folders with access rules, and drill from a chart to the underlying records.

Reports at /reports is Limnn's BI section. Instead of exporting to a separate tool, you build dashboards and reports directly on the shared graph, so a metric can span Sales, Support, People and Finance in one view. Everything respects roles, team scope and field-level security.

What lives in /reports

  • /reports - home with role-based dashboards for your role (rep, manager, executive).
  • /reports/dashboards - saved dashboards made of tiles.
  • /reports/new - the report builder.
  • /reports/templates - starter dashboards and reports you can clone.
  • /reports/folders - folders that organize content and carry access rules.
  • /reports/drill - drill-through from an aggregate to the underlying records.
  • /reports/analyst - Cortex Analyst for natural-language questions.

Building a report

  1. 1Go to /reports/new and choose the object to report on (for example Deals).
  2. 2Pick metrics (sum of amount, count, average cycle time) using the semantic metrics list so definitions match everyone else's.
  3. 3Add group-by dimensions (owner, stage, month) and filters (date range, pipeline, team).
  4. 4Choose a visualization: table, bar, line, funnel or number tile.
  5. 5Save into a folder so the right people can find it, then add it to a dashboard.

Dashboards

  1. 1Open /reports/dashboards and choose New dashboard.
  2. 2Add tiles from saved reports or build a tile inline.
  3. 3Set dashboard filters (date, team, owner) that apply across all tiles.
  4. 4Choose who can view or edit through the folder's access setting.

Drill-through

Click any bar, slice or number to open /reports/drill for the records behind it. Drill honors permissions, so a manager drilling into a team total sees only records they are allowed to open.

Numbers on a dashboard are computed for the viewer, not the author. Two people viewing the same tile can see different totals if their team scope or field access differs.
