In Winter’12 there were a set of Analytics featured delivered which really featured something for everybody.
- For admins, the extension of Custom Report Types so that you can start with User, then go to any object user is linked to, as creator, owner, or any custom lookup field means you can create new report types allowing you to look at all users, whether they own an opportunity closing this month or not, and then if so, how many opportuniites they own, for a full scoreboard
- For mobile users, the Analytics iPad app lets them view and refresh and email dashboards and their components from their iPads, even offline.
- For all users, a redesigned reports tab that makes it easier and faster to find and view all the reports you need.
- For Dashboard creators, dashboard filters let you build one dashboard rather than 10, one for each product or one for each region.
- If you ever build reports, the new report type filter makes it easier than ever to find the report type you need, just type the object name in the report type chooser, and see the filtered list.
We’ll go into the details of the user CRTs later – the others are pretty self-explanatory…
