Custom Reports are an easy way to view and share DubBot data. Custom Reports provide you with a sharable link that can be accessed by your colleagues, leadership, administrators, and decision-makers without requiring an account in DubBot. Users who choose to get Notification emails from DubBot will also have links to these Custom Reports in those emails.
