Report Names Plural or Singular

When naming power BI reports, would it be better to name the business process part of the name as a plural or singular word? For example, Cancelled Orders Report or Cancelled Order Report.

    Idk why Chatgpt posted answers like the previous one from AnkitaaMishra cant be downvoted, but anyways.

     

    The answer is, it depends. If you have multiple Orders in your report and want to present something about them, use Orders(ie. Delivery times per Order) . Otherwise, if you want to present the change in tendencies on a specific Order, use Order(Analysis on different attributes on that order, such as Cost of Production, Time to Deliver, Payment Method).

     

    Hope this helps.
