What are
     Custom Reports?
A custom report is a report that you create by picking the
dimensions (City and Browser, for example) and metrics
(Visits, Pageviews, and Bounce Rate, for example) and decide
how they should be displayed.
Dimensions vs. Metrics

    would see in the rows of Analytics Reports




    Metrics, on the other hand, are the
    numbers that usually populate those rows.

       them?
