Scheduled Reporting

Overview

Scheduled reporting enables you to:

• Schedule a report to be delivered during a time window
• Repeat the report on a one-time, daily, weekly, or monthly basis
• Automatically adjust the time frame of the report with each repetition
• Email the report to the user who scheduled the report

❗️

Warning

Please note that there is a limit of 1 million rows in reports. If the report exceeds this threshold, you will see an Report Too Large error returned with the following message:

"The report you generated is too large. Please try removing some dimensions, shortening the date range, or reducing the date group granularity and generating the report again"

Creating a Scheduled Report

1a. Navigate to Reports --> Scheduled Reports --> Schedule a Report

1b. Navigate to Reports --> New Report --> "Schedule This Report Instead" link on bottom right

2. Add a Report Name and choose how often the report repeats (Never, Daily, Weekly, Monthly)

👍

Information

The Report Name is optional, but we recommend using a unique one so you can find it easily in the Schedule Report List.

3. Set a Kickoff Date, or the first time the report will run
4. Choose your Scheduling Window (in GMT), which is the timeframe in which the report will be delivered. Choose any Options (see the section below).

📘

Note

If your Kickoff Date is today and your Scheduling Window is prior to the current time, we will run the report during the next repetition (next day, week, or month).

5. Check any of the boxes at the bottom to include/exclude certain columns
6. Click Schedule this Report

📘

Note

If you choose the "Never" option, and the timeframe of the report is today with a scheduling window before the current time, your report will not return.

Viewing Scheduled Reports

1. Go to Reports --> All Scheduled Reports

The full list of Scheduled Reports will be listed below. You can delete by clicking the X on the far right.

🚧

Caution

Caution

All reports generated through the UI or API have a lifetime of 10 days; they expire after that and need to be regenerated.

Creating a Fixed Date Report

🚧

Caution

Please ask your account manager or support to enable.

You may want to schedule a report that uses a fixed set of start and end dates. Each time the report runs, the same dates are used. For example, you many want to run a daily report for a specific campaign from the time the campaign starts until it finishes.

To do this, if the feature is enabled, check the "Fixed Date" checkbox in the Scheduled Report settings. In future reports, it'll use the dates you put into the report every time.

Adding Additional Emails to Report

By default, the scheduled report will be sent to the e-mail associated with your Kevel account. With this feature, however, you can add in additional e-mails to receive the report.

To enable:

1. Follow all steps to create a Schedule Report
2. If enabled, you'll see an optional Additional Emails section. Put in any e-mails you want, separated by commas

The link can be viewed by any person inside or outside your Kevel account. When you click on the link, a report in CSV format will download. The link will expire in seven days.
