Nova reports can be customized and organized.
Customizing reports
There are several ways to customize reports so they are specific to your organization. You can customize a report's sections and layout. You can customize the data source and fields used in each section. And, you can customize how information displays in each section by applying sorting and filters.
Searching reports
You can search for reports based on the title or description.
Cloning reports
You can clone any of the reports. After you give the new report a unique name, you can customize the new report by adding/removing sections, fields, and sorts/filters, so the new reports show exactly what you want to see.
Sharing reports across the organization
Organizing your organization's reports is easy, too. For example, you can share reports with the other Nova users from your organization.
Scheduling reports
You can schedule reports to be sent one time or periodically to stakeholders.
Importing and exporting report definitions

Reports built using the Nova Report Builder contain information from from various data sources. For example, reports might contain data related to Microsoft Teams, Yammer, Skype, and more. Additional data sources will be added over time.
A data source is a specific subset of data fields that are collected into a grouping for report creation.
Here is an example. In the menu, data source categories are shown in blue and the actual data sources are shown in black.
As you see in the image above, data sources are separated into categories. Here is more about each category:
