Before you begin

To use Studio in Looker, your Looker instance must meet all requirements for Studio in Looker, and your Looker admin must enable Studio in Looker.

Accessing Studio in Looker

There are three different ways to access Looker Studio reports:

• In the Looker main navigation panel, click the Create button and then select the Report menu item to open the Looker Studio report editor tool, where you can create a new Looker Studio report.

  

• From a Looker Explore page, click the Open in Report button to open the Looker Studio report editor tool, using the model and view selected in the Looker Explore.

  Note: The new report won't include any of the data, fields, measures, or filters that were selected in the Looker Explore.

  

• If you have previously created any Studio in Looker reports, or if another user has shared a report with you, you will see the report in the folder where it was saved, under the Reports section.
