Google Analytics reports for Custom Dimension and Metrics. If you are reading this post first, I would recommend reading Google Analytics- Custom dimensions and metrics with Example  first that mentions how to add the script that fetches the statistics, these reports are based on the same script.

 

Step1: Go to Google Analytics Customization tab, create New Custom Report 

select the custom created dimensions and metrics i.e Test User Traffic and Test User traffic metric

These are the setting I have used.

Report content:

    1. Report type:

           a. Explorer: The standard Google Analytics report that includes a line graph and data table that includes dynamic elements like search/ sort options and secondary dimensions

           b. Flat Table: A static, sortable table that displays data in rows.

           c. Map Overlay: A map of world with dark regions showing traffic and engagement volume.

 

      2. Filters: Filters lets you restrict data that appears in the report. For example to view user traffic from only admin or a specific user.

 

      3. Views: Select to show this report to a specific view or to all views(All Web Site Data).

 Save the settings.

 

Step 2: Goto to the reports tab. you can view the user statistics.

Note: The stats are updated within 24 hours. So the stats for today would reflect tomorrow in the reports.
