    A quick guide to editing curated knowledge base reports

  • By default, the widget displays the data based on the predefined configurations
  • ``` Note: The date range applied to all the widgets in the curated report is by default the last 29 days. This date range can be changed within the Filter section of the curated report ```

  • In order to edit a specific widget in the curated reports, you have to clone the widget to a custom report and customize the widget based on your preference
  • To clone a report, go to mode and select the widget that you want to clone
  • Once the widget opens, click on the title of the widget and select Clone widget. This will prompt you to enter where you want the cloned widget to be present
  • ``` Note: You can also create custom reports if you want more flexibility in analyzing your knowledge base performance ```
