My Email Reports

This feature is available in Enterprise Edition only

My Email Reports gives you the ability to schedule daily, weekly or monthly reports and have them emailed to you automatically. Weekly Email Reports are sent every Monday morning, and Monthly Email Reports are sent on the first day of every month (information in the Monthly Reports would therefore be for the month previous). Any Standard or Custom Report is able to be sent via email.

The times at which email reports are sent depends on the time zone setting chosen in Site Import Settings.

Adding an Email Report

1. Click on the Add Email Report button, or click on the name of an email report to edit it.
2. Report - Choose the standard or custom report you want to email
3. Frequency - Choose the frequency with which the email will be sent
4. To - Enter the email address of the recipient. Separate multiple email addresses with semicolons
5. CC (optional) - Enter any email addresses you want to carbon copy
6. Subject (optional) - If you wish to override the default subject of the message, enter the new subject here
7. Message (optional) - If you wish to send a customized message along with the report, enter it here
8. Email Format - Choose the format to send the email. While HTML emails are easier to read, plain text emails are smaller
9. Charts - Uncheck this box to remove charts from the email, making it smaller. Graphical charts are only sent in HTML emails
10. Click on Save to finalize the changes

My Custom Reports

This feature is available in Enterprise Edition only

A custom report is similar to a Standard Report, except Custom Reports grants the user the flexibility of adding any report items that would be most beneficial to them. Custom reports show up in the left sidebar, directly under Standard Reports, and are also available for email reports.

In My Custom Reports, a user can create, edit or delete Custom Reports.

Adding a Custom Report

1. Click on the Add Custom Report button
2. Name - Enter a descriptive name for the custom report
3. Default Date Range - Choose a default date range for the report items in the custom report
4. Use default date range on all report items - Check this box to allow the same date range to affect all report items in the report. If you wish to allow each report item to override the date range, uncheck the box
5. Default Filter Set - If you wish to apply a default filter set to the report items, choose it from the drop-down
6. Use default filter set on all report items - Check this box to apply the selected filter set to all report items in the custom report. If you uncheck this box, each report item can choose a filter, allowing you to compare different filter sets on the same report
7. Click on the Save button
8. Add report items to the custom report, as outlined below

Adding Report Items to a Custom Report

2. Click on the Add Report Item button to add an item to the list, or click on an existing item's name to edit it
