Ask Pippin

We also have our AI tool "Pippin"! If you are unsure which filters to use, Pippin can help. Simply write in the box what you are looking for and enter.


If the data you are looking to find is not appearing in this reporting function, we also have our "Original Reports" and "Old Reports" function in the top right corner of the reporting page.
