To create or edit a report, you must first be set up in the PerfectApps user list with a Full User license and permission to build reports. See Creating a New User
Plan your report carefully. Ensure that you know which fields on the app you want to report on, how you want that data to be displayed, what filters you might want to apply at the data source and what filters you want to allow the report viewer to control.
Most importantly, ensure that the data you want to report on is available in the app. For example, if you want to report on the date an app instance was first submitted. you must ensure that the date is captured in the app; it is not captured automatically as part of the app's Meta data.
