What is a Custom Report?

We know that each client is unique, and so are their reports. Custom Reports enable you to create and deliver personalized reports by choosing the exact channels and metrics you want to have visible. With Custom Reports, you can deliver a tailored reporting experience for each client and provide them with even more value when reporting on social performance.

Custom Reports can also be downloaded as PDF or XLS documents, or shared as one time or automated email to go directly to your client from HeyOrca!

Custom Reports are available on HeyOrca Pro or with the Reports add-on.

What metrics can I add to a Custom Report?

Custom Reports include Cross-channel graphs as well individual metrics for each social platform that can be enabled or disabled. Each respective metric graph can be added as a bar graph format, or a line graph format for additional flexibility.
