To change the settings of a scheduled report, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Reports page.

  2. Click the report name.

  3. Change report settings as needed. You can change the following:

    • Report name. Choose a suggestive name for the report to help easily identify what it is about. When choosing a name, consider the report type and target, and possibly the report options. Reports generated by a scheduled report are named after it.

    • Report recurrence (schedule). You can schedule the report to be automatically generated hourly (by a certain hour interval), daily (at a certain start time), weekly (on a specific day of the week and start time) or monthly (on a specific day of the month and start time). Depending on the selected schedule, the report will only include data from the last day, week or month, respectively.
