Most content can be expanded to take up the entire License Statistics application window by clicking the "Maximize" icon 
at the upper right corner of the page/area.
Maximizing the content is particularly useful for viewing reports that have a large amount of data, more easily viewing data on a phone or tablet, or setting the view up for a screen capture.

For most reports (other than Administration reports, which do not support a public API), you can see a preview of the API resources for that report by clicking the "Show API resource" Options icon
at the upper right corner of the reportthe page, and then selecting API Resource from the Options menu.
An After clicking this icon, an API Resource window opens, with details of the API request used to generate the report, including the headers, endpoint and used parameters.
