    I have been frustrated with reports because I can't get all of the fields that I need.

    • If I go into the event itself, none of the templates have what I need, so I have to search for and add many fields every time. 
    • I have created a cross event report where I enter the ID to pull data for one event, but some fields that I can find in the event are not available.
    • Even in the events, I could find some fields in certain events but not others.
    • When the event-level templates were introduced all of the existing reports our team had created were deleted. Why isn't there a grace period to keep reports that have already been created?
    • I followed the instructions to change the order of a report, and when I go into that screen it's in the right order, but when I pull the report it's still not.

    I'd like to learn more about segmentation in reporting.  I'm familiar with the term related to Attendee Hub audience segmentation and in the address book. Thank you!

    I use Cvent reporting every day in my job as the data analyst on our team. I like the reports but have experienced a few speedbumps that, if resolved could make reporting event better. 

    • "Old" reports used to allow you to select "All" for reporting fields, and no matter the data included in the report, all values in that field would be included. The "New" reports functionality doesn't work that way; it makes available any new data in the reporting field but doesn't automatically select it. This results in having to validate all options are selected every time you run the report. The solution, though counterintuitive, is to select None of the options. That way the report isn't filtered, and all the data will display. I made this change in my reports and now don't have to validate the data on each of the filters in the report. 
    • I often run Admin reports but the data fields available in Admin reports are fewer than in Cross Event reports. This requires me to run the Admin and Cross Event reports, then perform a VLOOKUP to include necessary fields in my reports. A WISH would be to expand the fields available in Admin reports, or make Admin reports available in Cross Event reports and include the option to add additional fields.

    Overall, we use Cvent as our system of record and the reports are very valuable to our business in managing spend, resource allocation and help shape our meetings management policy.
