While copying a report template in Looker Studio for the first time your site may not appear as a Data Source option. In this case, you may need to add your website as a new Data Source.
Important Note:
Please note that the pre-built templates were designed for CivicPlus Google Analytics 4. Attempting to use a different property such as one owned by your organization may work but also may result in broken tables due to additional information being provided within the CivicPlus properties.
