SLIDE 2 – INTRO GUIDE TO CANOPY LABS REPORTS
Reports allow you to display customer info, filter tags and aggregate
omni-channel data in order to gain further insight into your customers,
patrons and fans behave at the individual level.
SLIDE 3 – REPORT BUILDING PROCESS
Once you’ve settled on the aim of your report, it is time to
start building. Here we break down the steps required to
create your report – from selecting the customer list you’re
reporting on to generating the CSV.
SLIDE 7 – CUSTOMER INFO & TAGS
There are three types of data that can be queried against in
Reports. Customer Info and Customer Tags are valuable
ways to gain understanding of who the customer is before
you investigate how they behave.
SLIDE 9 – ACTIONS AGGREGATION
Finally, we reach the actions aggregation data type. This is the most
complex to learn, but the most powerful. By describing how to build out
columns that aggregate email, purchase and web data, we can power the
six initiatives described on the next slide.

6. Report Building Process
Previews & Timeframes

Methodology
• The Preview screen looks like
the image on Slide 4
• This displays a list of 50
qualifying customer IDs for
illustrative purposes
• If you’d like to retrieve the full
customer list, you must
generate & export the report
– detailed on Slide 6
Report Preview Screen
• Similar to funnels, you have
the option to apply a global
timestamp/filter that limits
values to a specific window
• Shortening the timeframe for
a report decreases generation
time
Global Timeframe
• You can ignore the global
timeframe at the individual
field-level by overwriting it
• Example: You are creating a
report that summarizes 2016
purchases, but would like to
display customer lifetime
values as well
Field Timeframe1 2 3
There are three types of data that can be queried against in a report:
(1) Customer Info – shows standard fields (e.g. first name) and custom fields (e.g. loyalty level)
(2) Customer Tags – display tags associated with individual Customer IDs
(3) Actions Aggregation – counting, summing, etc. of action items

Report Building Process
Exporting the Report to a Comma Separated Values (.csv) Spreadsheet
Generate Report
1. Click “Regenerate” on Reports Home – this pulls up
the below screenshot
2. Enter desired sort, limit, file delimiter & time zone
3. Select “On” (optional) for “Rerun Funnel” to
regenerate the funnel’s customer list
4. Enter your email address (optional) – this notifies
you when the report is done generating
Export Report
1. When the report is done generating, click “Export”
2. This downloads the reports as a .csv. Additional
analysis can be conducted natively in Excel or
through 3rd party software
1. If the report’s customer list is large and only a sample
is needed, limit the number of customers
2. If the report’s funnel uses fixed timestamps and is
recently refreshed, select “Off” for the “Rerun Funnel”
option
3. If the report’s customer list is less than 50, export the
preview of the report
Minimize Generation Time
