# Creating and Managing Pivot Reports

![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/0199fa6d-a902-4d15-b327-d329dd426dd7.png) Pivot reports enable you to organize and analyze your data however you like. You can use them as-is or you can drag and drop filter to entirely reorganize a pivot report's layout. Your data will be re-summarized according to the new layout of columns and rows, so you can easily customize a report to display the information you need in the way you need it.

> Note: If you want to first see an example of how to customize a pivot report, [click here](https://docs.avontus.com/docs/creating-a-product-history-pivot-report).

> Note: By default, when previewing pivot reports, the print preview and exported files are grouped in a way that matches the pivot report configuration. When exporting to Excel, the grouping can be difficult to work with. The checkbox in the Reports tab of the My Options dialog enables you to preview pivot reports with their items organized as they are in the report. Refer to [The My Options Dialog](https://docs.avontus.com/docs/the-my-options-dialog) for more information.
