Start a report from a recipe

Open a ready report with its period already set, then save it to keep it.

In short

A recipe is a report that is ready to read: the right report for a common question, with its period already chosen. Press one and the numbers show at once; save the report if you want to keep that copy and compare the next one with it.

Before you start

• Who: anyone signed in who can run the report behind the recipe.
• Plan: Analytics is part of every plan, Free included.
• First: the recipe's product must be on for you; otherwise the recipe is not shown.

Steps

1. Open Analytics › "Reports". "Catalog" shows "Start from a recipe" above the report groups.
2. Press the recipe that answers your question: "Weekly team summary", "Release readiness", "Hiring funnel", "Time by project", "API reliability" or "Quality trend".
3. Read the report. If it runs against something, choose a project or board in the first drop-down; change the "Period" if you want another.
4. Press "Save report" to keep this copy, or "Schedule…" to get it on a rhythm.

Result: the report opens with its period set, and nothing is saved until you press "Save report".

The recipes

Good to know

• Only the recipes you can run now are shown: the report must exist and its product must be on for you.
• A recipe opens the best report you can read. Time by project opens your team's time when you may see it, and your own time otherwise.
• A recipe saves nothing by itself. The same six are in the Templates gallery as "Report" starts, and they open the same way.
• Recipes here are reports to read. The Recipes page of Templates holds automations you switch on; see /help/home/templates-and-recipes.

If something goes wrong

• No recipe row: none of the six can run yet. Turn a product on in Settings › Products, or press "Choose products" on the empty catalog.
• "Nothing to run this against yet": the recipe needs a project or a board. Create one first, then open the recipe again.
