[GA4] Create a detail report

If the pre-made reports don't provide the information you're looking for, you can create your own detail report that shows information that's important to your business.

Before you begin

You must be an editor or administrator to create an detail report.

Steps

1. In Google Analytics, click Reports on the left.
2. In the left navigation, click Library on the bottom left.
   If you do not see the option, you don't have permission to create an overview report. You must be an administrator or editor to create an overview report.
3. In the 'Reports' section, click + Create new report > Create detail report.
4. Click Blank to start with an empty detail report, or select a template.

   A report that is based on a report template will automatically receive updates when Google changes the report template. For example, if Google adds a dimension to the User acquisition report, the dimension will appear in all linked User acquisition reports. Learn more about linking to a template.

5. Use the 'Customize report' panel on the right to:
   • Customize the dimension picker
   • Customize the metrics

   • Customize filters

   • Customize the charts

   • Create a summary card

6. When you're done, click Save.
7. Enter a name for the report and click Save.

Result

The report is now available in the 'Reports' section of the report library. If you want others to be able to access the report easily, you can add the report to your left navigation.
