Notes:

  1. Inside the report, click Custom CDF.
    • The option Custom CDF can also be found in the Columns section by clicking ADD+.

  1. You are viewing one of the Cloudbeds Reports, click Save As to customize the report.
  2. You are creating a new report and have not saved it yet. Make sure there is at least one column added to the table outline, then, click Save. Check: Cloudbeds Insights (Pilot) - How to Create Your Own Reports
