Reports

A report is a table of data based on specific criteria important to various team members. Reports offer detailed analysis and visualizations of data, helping teams to track progress, identify opportunities, and make data-driven decisions. 

Reports are based on the following objects: 

  • Account 
  • Person 
  • Activity 
  • Opportunity 

Demandbase provides a set of standard reports. You can customize these preconfigured reports or create new reports.

Subscriptions

A subscription is a way of delivering reports or Snapshots through emails or Slack alerts. See Configure Subscriptions.

There are two types of report subscriptions:

  • Single List Subscription: Send the report or Snapshot to yourself or a few people.
  • Personalized Subscription: Send the report or Snapshot to users so they only see the accounts they own. Use this option if you want to easily set up a subscription for multiple account owners.
