Objective

The purpose of this article is to provide information to Outreach users and admins on how to leverage custom filters in Outreach daily reports. This new reporting capability provides customization and flexibility to admins and users alike by allowing them to apply a broader range of filters dimensions to reports and control which filters options display by default in daily report filter panels.

Applies To

  • Outreach Users

Admins can define the default filters for Sales execution, Sequence performance, and Team performance reports, including the sub-reports under Team performance (e.g., Summary, Calls, Emails, and Tasks team performance reports can each have different default settings.)
