List of Reports

List of activity reports you previously saved.

Next to each name is some basic info and the (far right side) options to edit/view/download/duplicate/archive this report.

Add/Edit Report

When you click to add a new report or click to edit an existing one, you are presented with many useful options, most of which optional!

After you’re done, you can optionally click:

  1. Clear Report - if you like to blank the report’s settings before choosing new settings.

  2. Save Report - if you want to use the same report later on.

  3. View button (available only for existing reports) - display the results on screen.
    Note: this does require saving first. Otherwise it will show the results of the last saved report.

  4. Download button - download a CSV result file.
    Note: this does not require saving first. It will always download according to the current report settings, whether they are saved or not.
