Scheduled Reports
This feature is only available to administrators using SmarterTrack Enterprise. |
Scheduled Reports streamline reporting by automating the generation and delivery of key business data on a recurring basis. Instead of manually creating reports, users can schedule customized outputs, delivered daily, weekly, or monthly, to their inboxes or designated recipients in formats like PDF or Excel. This ensures consistent access to up-to-date insights, saves valuable time, and empowers businesses to track performance, uncover trends, and address issues proactively.
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.
