Configuration:

  • Name – A name of the new automatic report.

  • Interval – Interval that determines how often and for what period the report will be exported:

    • Previous day – The report will be created daily. The report will include data for the previous day.

    • Previous 7 days – The report will be created weekly. The report will include data for the previous 7 days.

    • Calendar month – The report will be created monthly at a selected day of the month. The report will include data starting from the selected day of the previous month until (but not including) the same day of the current month.

    • Monthly – The report will be created monthly at a selected day of the month. The report will include data from the first to the last day (inclusive) of the previous month.

  • Day of month – The day of month when the report will be generated. This field is available only for intervals monthly and calendar month.

  • Send time – The time of day when the report will be exported.

  • Export type – Format of the report. Supported formats are CSV, HTML, PDF, XLS, XLSX, and XML.

  • File path – Path to a folder into which the report will be saved. Both local and UNC paths are supported.

  • File name – File name prefix for the report. The full file name is constructed based on the prefix, interval, export type, and the Overwrite file switch.

  • Overwrite file – If enabled, the report is always saved into the same file, possibly overwriting the previous report. If disabled, a time stamp is added into the file name so that older reports are not overwritten.

  • Filter – Saved web report filter used to generate the report. The filter determines the report structure (fields, grouping etc.).

The Save settings button saves and activates the new automatic file report.
