  4. Configure the report in the chart editor, then save it to the board.

Which report type should I use?

Insights

Use Insights to see how an action or event changes over time. It is a good starting point for questions about volume, trends, and changes in product activity.
Example: How many users completed onboarding each week?

Funnel

Use Funnel to measure how users move through an ordered sequence of steps and where they drop off.
Example: What percentage of users moved from signing up to completing their first project?

Retention

Use Retention to understand how many users return after completing an initial action.
Example: How many users who activated in week one returned to use the product in later weeks?

Journeys

Use Journeys to trace the paths users take through your product.
Example: What do users do after they create their first project?

Stickiness

Use Stickiness to understand how often users repeat an action and what keeps them coming back.
Example: On how many days each week do active users open the product?

Lifecycle

Use Lifecycle to compare new, returning, resurrected, and dormant users over time.
Example: Is growth coming from new users, or from previously dormant users returning?
Available report types The chart creator currently supports only the six report types listed in this article.

Switch a report to another type

The chart editor displays the same six report types across the top. Select another type to change the report while you are editing it.
Some report types support fewer metrics than others. If switching would remove metrics, Userorbit shows how many will be dropped and asks you to confirm before continuing.
