# Run a custom report

## About this task

You can define and run a custom report, defining the report type, and other parameters as required. This gives you greater flexibility than the predefined report. However, unlike a predefined report, you need to reset the specific parameters each time you run the custom report.

2. Click **Run New Report**.

4. In the **Time Range**field, select either:

   ### Choose from:

   * **Specific Date** and then select the dates you want the report to start and end respectively.

   * **Relative**: enter a value and units (for example, Days, Weeks, or Minutes) representing a relative time frame from the current date and time.

5. (Optional) Select a time zone from the dropdown list to change the default time zone.

6. To filter the **Subject** field for the selected report type, enter the subject in full and click **Run**.

If the report includes more than one subject field, the report filter is applied to the **IdP Subject** field only.

1. To change the fields displayed, in the **Report Parameters** area, click **Show Options**, and then in the **Select Fields** dropdown list select the checkbox for the event data you want to show in the results (all fields are selected by default). Click **Run** to update the results table.

2. To change the reporting time zone in the **Report Parameters** area, click **Show Options**, select the time zone you require from the dropdown list, and click **Run** to update the results table.

   The default time zone is defined in the **User Settings**.

3. To limit the event data displayed in the results, click **Show Options**and in the **Select Fields** section click the **Selected** dropdown. Select from the event data available for the report.

4. To change the reporting time zone used for the report, click **Show Options**, select the appropriate time zone from the dropdown list, and click **Run** to update the displayed results.

5. For SSO reports, you can also use the **Application Name** dropdown list to select an application as the target of the report.

6. Click **Run**. The report is run and the results displayed.

7. To modify the report, in the **Report Parameters** area, change the parameters as required and click **Run** to refresh the results.

8. To export the report in `.csv` format, click **Export**. The report is saved in your default download folder.
