One-Time Download

A one-time download of a report or chart will display the data from the specific timeframe selected in the filter settings (if available).

There are two methods to download a report: the printer icon and the download icon.

  • The printer icon will download a PDF version of the full report. If the report has a large amount of data multiple pages will be included in the PDF.

  • The download icon allows you to select the format of the export. Exports can be formatted as plain text (.csv), excel (.xls), PDF.

    ๐Ÿ’ก Some formats may not be available depending on the type of data.

These options can appear at the top of a dashboard or report and can also appear for specific sections, such as graphs.

The scheduled report can be created on any page that contains the Schedule Export icon (clock) in the top right-hand corner of any analytics page.

  1. Click on the Schedule Export icon (see below).

  2. The date range for the report will be based on the original date range that you have selected for the report.

  3. Select an Export Format.
