This article will teach you how to describe a report in plain language, review the generated config, and run it.
Some tenants can describe a report in plain language to generate a starting configuration. AI is a draft assistant — always review dimensions, filters, and metrics before sharing with ownership. Validate against a known manual report or spreadsheet subtotal before trusting net-new definitions.
Steps
- Open the AI / generate report entry if available on your tenant.
- Describe the metrics, dimensions, and filters you need in plain English.
- Review the generated configuration line by line.
- Fix fields that map to the wrong store, GL bucket, or date column.
- Run the report on a narrow date range you can spot-check.
- Compare totals to a trusted report or Books list.
- Save or share only after validation passes.
Conclusion & best practices
Never ship an AI-built report to ownership without spot-checking totals. If the helper is unavailable, use the standard library reports instead. Document AI-generated definitions so the next admin understands non-obvious filters.
