The Audit section is only available in the Suite and CoreSuite solutions.
Audit reports allow you to utilize pivot tables to summarize and improve data analysis, offering a deeper understanding of the data, enabling informed decision-making, and presenting results in a clear, organized format.
Why use a pivot table?
- Data aggregation: Pivot tables enable efficient consolidation of large datasets, which facilitates quick analysis and interpretation.
- Data segmentation: Pivot tables assist in segmenting data based on particular criteria, helping to spot trends or irregularities.
- Data comparison: Pivot tables offer a structured way to compare data across various categories, generating valuable insights and supporting data-driven decision-making.
- Automated calculations: Pivot tables boost efficiency by automatically carrying out calculations such as sum, average, count, and percentage, eliminating the need for manual computations.
- Customizability: Pivot tables provide high degrees of customization, allowing users to choose specific data fields, apply different sorting and filtering criteria, and organize the pivot table to meet their specific needs.
CoreView allows you to create Pivot charts, please view how to create them here.

Step 2
Select the desired attributes and position them into column labels, row groups, or values to customize your data. Use the drag indicator to move the elements.
- In the columns field, check the items you wish to view.
- Drag attributes in the row groups, the values or column labels to filter data.
For example, if you wish to visualize which user types have performed certain actions in Microsoft 365 Audit activities report, you could insert the operation in the row groups, User type the Column labels, and the Workload in the Values field, as shown below:
