Report Set samples

A Report Set defines a selection of reports and extracts with specified options that can be run against a single pass of the data.

You can create new Report Sets, as shown in this tutorial, or you can install predefined Report Set samples. Each of the Report Set samples help you investigate a particular problem scenario.

The following Report Sets samples are provided:
