What should you do if a predefined report does not meet your requirements?

When a predefined report does not meet your requirements, the best course of action is to customize the report. Customizing allows you to modify the existing report to better suit your specific needs, tailoring the data, layout, and presentation to provide the insights you require for your analysis. This flexibility enables you to focus on the most relevant metrics or presentations that can benefit your decision-making process, rather than starting from scratch or relying on potentially outdated or irrelevant pre-configured reports.

Deleting the report would eliminate potentially useful data that could be useful with slight modifications. Requesting a new report from IT could lead to delays and might not specifically address the nuances of your requirements, as it requires additional resources and time. Using the default settings often means relying on the general report structure, which may not capture the unique aspects of your situation. Hence, customizing the report maximizes efficiency and relevancy, leading to more effective data analysis.
