Best Practices for Setting Up Custom Reports in Piwik Pro

Hello Everyone,

I’ve recently started using Piwik Pro for a few client projects, and I’m really enjoying the platform so far. However, I’m currently working on setting up custom reports, and I want to ensure I’m leveraging the full capabilities of the tool while also following best practices.

Here are a few questions I’ve run into:

  1. Selecting the right metrics and dimensions: What are some key considerations when choosing the most relevant metrics and dimensions for a custom report? I want to make sure I’m not missing any important data points that could offer valuable insights.
  2. Performance optimization: Are there any specific settings or tips to ensure that custom reports don’t slow down performance, especially when working with larger datasets? I’ve heard that filtering too much data can sometimes affect report generation speed.
  3. Custom segmentations: I’m interested in segmenting my reports based on different user behaviors (e.g., repeat visitors vs. first-time visitors). Are there any best practices for creating custom segments that make the reports more actionable?
  4. Integration with other tools: I’m currently using Piwik Pro alongside other marketing tools like Google Ads and Facebook Ads. How do you recommend integrating data from those sources into custom reports? Are there any common pitfalls to avoid? :thinking:

I’d love to hear how other users are approaching custom report setups and any tips you might have from your own experiences. Any insights, salesforce developer resources, or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
