    --- title: Création de rapports Analytics personnalisés description: "Dans cette rubrique, vous allez apprendre à créer des rapports personnalisés à l'aide du module Analytics." parent: Révision des analyses---

    The Analytics module can be used to generate custom, ad-hoc analytics reports that can be downloaded in comma separated values (.csv) or Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) formats. Reports can also be scheduled to run on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

    The Analytics API is used to retrieve data from the analytics system. The Analytics API can also be used to create your own custom reports. For more information on the Analytics API, see the Analytics API documentation.

    To begin creating custom reports, open the Analytics module and click on the Custom link in the left navigation.

    custom reports UI

    To create a custom report, you will perform the following steps:

    1. Select accounts
    2. Select a report type
    3. Select data groups
    4. Add a report filter
    5. Select data fields
    6. Preview the report
    7. Configure delivery options
    8. Request the report

    Reporting time zone

    Data in custom reports is shown using the account's reporting time zone offset. The reporting time zone can be configured from the Beacon Studio home page by going to Admin > Account Settings > Default Reporting Time Zone. Note that only account administrators have access to the Account Settings.

    The reporting time zone is used to calculate day boundaries for reporting data. Changing the reporting time zone setting only affects data going forward, and changes are not applied retroactively. If you change this setting, you may see a flat spot or a spike in your data when looking at day boundaries where the change was applied. Updates to this setting may not take effect immediately, and analytics data may continue to refer to the old setting until the system processes the changes.

    Selecting accounts

    If you have access to multiple Brightcove accounts, you can include data from the current account or select multiple accounts.

    include accounts

    If you create a report that includes all accounts and those accounts use different time zones, data is reported using the time zone for that account.

    Selecting a report type

    Select the type of report:

    • One-time - The report will be run once, immediately
    • Recurring - The report can be scheduled to run on a daily, weekly or monthly basis
    report type

    One-time report

    Selecting One-time will run the report one time. A calendar control will appear and you can specify the time period that you want the analytics data to cover.

    date selector

    Recurring report

    Selecting Recurring will run the report on a recurring basis. Select a report Frequency:

    • Daily - Report covers an entire day
    • Weekly - Report covers an entire week, with a week being defined as Monday through Sunday
    • Monthly - Reports covers an entire month
    • Enterprise accounts are limited to 20 recurring reports, Professional accounts are limited to 5
    • Recurring reports are associated with a user and are available across all accounts the user has access to
    • Recurring reports are executed after the analytics reconciliation has taken place, usually 3 to 5 days after the end of a reporting period

    Selecting data groups

    Data Groups determine the data fields that can be included in the report. The data fields that appear in the Data Fields section are based upon the data groups that are selected. You can select multiple data groups but some combinations are not valid. As data groups are selected, the list of available data groups will be updated to include only the valid groups that can be selected.

    Data groups and fields

    When you select a Data Group, the Data Fields that can be returned can be selected. Fields that are grayed-out cannot be returned for that Data Group.

    To add a data group, click the date selector button. To remove a group, click date selector.

    Adding a report filter

    Filters can be added to limit the amount of data returned. When using multiple filters, an AND operation will be used. In the following example, videos that are tagged video cloud essentials AND have the custom field Product=Video Cloud will be returned.

    filters

    To add a filter, click the date selector button. To remove a filter, click date selector. The following values can be used as filters.

    • Video - One or more active video IDs in the account
    • Video Tag - One or more video tags
      • Entering "financial services" (with the quotation marks) will return videos that are tagged financial services.
      • When using multiple tags, videos with ALL the tags will be returned. Entering "financial services", accounting will return all videos that are tagged financial services and accounting.
      • Note: the mechanism used to return videos by tag has no sort or paging options.
    • Custom Fields - One or more custom fields in the account
      • When filtering on custom fields and Select All is selected, the custom field list will include the custom fields from all of your accounts. As custom fields are selected, the list will be filtered to contain only custom fields that are common across all accounts.

      • Brightcove Players - Enter the player URL in this format: players.brightcove.com/account_id/playerID_default
