Add and configure the report embed

Click Add Report and fill in the following fields:

• Max Age: An integer specifying the maximum allowable age, in seconds, that a cached report run’s results may be. If the report was last run more than the defined number of seconds ago, the report will rerun and return fresh results. Set to 0 to ensure the report runs every time the embed is viewed.

• Embed Type: Select White-Label Embeds.
• Short Code Report Name: Select a name to be used to embed this report.
• Select Buttons (Optional): For White-Label Embeds, you have the option to allow CSV export and report filters (if defined in the report).

Configure parameters (if required)

On a report, click Add Parameters and fill in the following fields:

• Parameter Slug: This should be consistent with the Parameters used in the report.
• Data Types: Select the type of data input: text, number, or date.
• Users Can Edit: This enables report viewers to select Parameters.
• Default Value: Select which Parameter you would like viewers to see as the default.

Add the embed to a page

1. On the left navigation panel, select Pages, and click New Page.
2. Create a page title.
3. In the content section, insert the Short Code Report name from your plugin settings: [mode-analytics report_name="Short Code Report Name"]
4. Under Publish, select Preview Changes or view the page outside of the editor by clicking the Permalink

User tokens

With Mode's WordPress plugin , admins can set up user authentication Parameters or tokens. You can create a custom attribute for each user’s profile that will dynamically replace the token (e.g., {{account_id}} in the Parameter default value field) when an embed is rendered. This will ensure that the user is shown the embed with the correct Parameters.
