Intro
In Google Data Studio, an audience report has been created for each Alpro market. The account 'digital@alpro.com' has ownership, meaning that these reports will be send out from this email address.
As of recently, these reports are automated and updates will be send out on a quarterly basis, on the 2nd day of each new quarter.

Creating a website report for a new market
In case of a recent website launch for a new market, you can easily create an identical audience report for this specific market. The way of working is explained in 4 steps below.
1. Copy an existing report from another market
Open an existing audience report in Google Data Studio (e.g. that from the UK) and copy this report (by clicking the 3 bullets next to the edit button).
2. Select a new data source
Select the new market's Google Analytics folder.
For example, if you'd like to create a report for a new market (e.g. New Zealand), select this data source in GA.
Click 'Create new data source'
Select Google Analytics from the options.
Select the right folder (New Zealand (NZ) in this case). Click 'connect' and next 'add to the report'.
You will now see the new data source.
3. Create the new report
By clicking 'copy the report', you'll create a copy of the UK's audience report, but using New Zealands' data.
4. Change the names
Change both:
- The file name (top left)
- The title of the report (top middle on both the 1st and 2nd page)
