What reports are available in Notory?
Quick answer
Section titled “Quick answer”Notory doesn’t ship fixed standard reports. Instead, you build your own saved reports: a report is a saved analysis of one object type from your Flexible data (Catalog) — with optional grouping, a metric (count, sum, or average), and freely chosen columns for the CSV export. You’ll find the module under Reports in the left-hand navigation.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”Reports are part of the Flexible data module and are unlocked via the
custom_fields feature — in other words, a Pro feature. Without a matching
plan, the API responds with 403. Because a report runs on your own
object types (records), you first need at least one object type with
records in the Catalog.
Overview
Section titled “Overview”-
Open the “Reports” module. Select Reports in the left-hand navigation. At the top, use “New report” to create a new report; the reports you’ve already saved appear below.

The building blocks of a report. Every report consists of: an object type (what’s being analyzed), a grouping (which field results are bundled by), a metric (
Count,Sum, orAverage— for sum/average, over a number field), and the columns used for the export.
The module lives at /api/v1/reports. An overview of the saved reports:

with 403.
What happens behind the scenes?
Section titled “What happens behind the scenes?”- License gate (Pro via
custom_fields): The entire Reports module depends on thecustom_fieldsfeature. Without it, you get 403 — not because of a dedicated “Reports” permission, but because reports are part of Flexible data. - Analyzes records, not assets: A report reads records of one of your
own object types (Catalog), not built-in assets. So
object_typemust be an object type from your flexible-data platform. - Your tenant only: Only records from your own tenant are analyzed;
deleted ones (
deleted_at) are excluded. - A saved definition: A report only stores the build definition (object type, grouping, metric, filters, columns) — the numbers are only produced when you run it.
