Custom Reports Overview

This feature is only available to administrators using SmarterTrack Enterprise.

A Custom Report allows you to combine bits and pieces of different standard reports into a single report that details just the information you want to display. This makes it easier to get the proper information to the right people within an Organization. Once a Custom Report is created, it's available in the Custom Reports area and can be viewed, and used, just like any standard report: it can be exported or emailed to whoever requires the information.

Manage Custom Reports

Clicking on this area displays any existing Custom Reports in the content pane. Here, you can select one and edit its settings or delete it entirely. You also create new Custom Reports from this area.

Scheduled Email Reports

Clicking on this area displays any Custom Reports that have been scheduled to be sent daily, weekly or monthly. If a report has been set up to send daily, it's also possible to pause the sending of that report by simply disabling it. This prevents you from having to delete the schedule and then create it at a later time once you're ready to start sending it again. It's also possible to send a Custom Report outside its standard schedule with the Send Now button. NOTE: Scheduled Email Reports send out at 2:00 a.m. at the time set up on the SmarterTrack server and are sent from the default Brand's SMTP account.
