Custom Reports are an easy way to view and share DubBot data. Custom Reports provide a shareable link that your colleagues, leadership, administrators, and decision-makers can access without a DubBot account. DubBot users who choose to receive Notification emails from DubBot will also receive links to these Custom Reports in those emails.
Custom Reports can be generated for either HTML web pages or PDF files.
