How to create report templates

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create custom templates for your reports in Not Just Analytics.

Why use templates in reports? Templates allow you to predefine the charts and metrics you want to include in your reports, saving time and maintaining a consistent structure.

You can create templates focused on specific analyses, such as:

  • Reels performance
  • Profile growth strategy
  • Analysis tailored to specific clients

Once you’ve created a template, you can generate reports in just a few clicks, without having to select charts manually every time.

1️⃣ Access the report section

  • Log in to Not Just Analytics with your account.
  • Go to ’Reports’ in the main menu.
  • Click “Create Report” to begin.

2️⃣ Select charts for the template

Now, choose the data and charts you want to include in the template.

Follow the usual report creation process: for now, selecting the profile and date range is just for setting up the initial model. You can use this template with any other profile later on.

Pick the charts to include in the template:

  • select entire sections with bulk selection: (e.g., General, Audience, Posts, Stories, Captions).
  • expand each section and select only the specific charts you need with custom selection.

After choosing your charts, click ’Next’.

📌 Tip: if you have multiple clients or want targeted analyses, create different templates for each of your needs!
