Adding columns to a report
The content in a report can be in one or two columns. One chart can take the whole width, or you can set any two charts next to each other. You can also mix them with the text blocks so you can have two custom charts in the same row, or two text blocks, or charts and text blocks mixed.
To split a row into two columns, hover over either sides of an existing chart, click the “+” button and select Add a new chart:
A modal is opened with a set of chart templates. You can either use one of the existing charts, create a new chart from the template gallery, or create a new chart from scratch.

Customize with colors and logo
At the top of the report, you’ll find the Setting button. There you can adjust the report’s visibility, select a color theme, and add a custom logo.
To add a logo to the report, you first need to upload the logo file on the Account settings:
Once you’ve uploaded the logo, the logo will appear on the report footer for those reports that have the Show logo on the footer setting enabled:

What is the difference between these metrics?
Reaction time = time before the work was started
Cycle time = time from start to completion
Lead time = Reaction time + Cycle time
Timing metrics explained: Lead time vs Cycle time
How is the reaction time calculated?
Reaction time starts running when a task is moved into a state that is mapped to the "Not started" in the workflow mapping. The reaction time stops when the task is moved out from that state. If the task is never placed into a state that is mapped to the “Not started” workflow state, then the reaction time is zero.
What if tasks skip lists/columns, or there is no sequential workflow?
The timing information is based on how long items stay in the workflow states that are mapped to "In progress" in the workflow mapping. There is no need for sequential progress, and it is totally fine if tasks skip some of the workflow steps.
What if a task is moved from the “not started” state directly to “done” without going through any of the “in progress” states?
In that case, the cycle time will be zero.
How does the cycle time work if a task is moved into "in progress" and then back to "not started yet"? Similarly, what happens if a card is archived while it's in progress?
Cycle time is calculated only for completed tasks, so in both of those cases, cycle time would be undefined.
If a task is moved from "in progress" to "done", but then back to "in progress" again for additional work would this time be added to the cycle time?
Cycle time is counted only when the task is in progress, so the time spent in the "done" state is not included in the calculation.
When is a task created? Does the clock start when a task is created or when it is put in the "next" state (or equivalent)?
The clock starts when a task is moved to a workflow state that is mapped to the "not started" or "in progress" workflow state.
Are weekends included in the cycle time calculations?
Weekends are included in the calculations by default, but you can change that in the chart settings by selecting 'Exclude non-business hours. See How to set weekend days and office hours
