Percipio Learning - Schedule Reports

Percipio Learning - Schedule Reports

If you need to regularly run a report, you can schedule it to run automatically and have the system notify you when it's ready. Setting a schedule allows you to focus on other things until you get notified.

When you set up a schedule, you can also choose to share the scheduled report with users in your company who have a Percipio user account. These users also get notified when the report is ready. These users can have any Percipio role. If a shared user only has a role of learner, they can only download the report itself, they do not see any other admin feature or function.

Note: When you share a report with a user, that user sees the full report even if they are only assigned to a specific audience.

Because downloaded reports are only available for 14 days, you can only share a report during that 14-day duration. On the fifteenth day, the report is removed from the download list and shared users lose access to it.

Schedule a report

To schedule a report and share it with others:

  1. From Analytics, select View all reports.
  2. Select the report you want to schedule and customize the report data you want to see.
  3. Depending on the report you selected:
    • If you selected a Standard report, select Create report schedule. The schedule always uses whatever filters you defined at the time you created the schedule.
    • If you select a Report template, from Actions, select Create report schedule. If you don't save the template first, the schedule uses your default settings to generate the scheduled report. If you save the template first, the schedule always uses the last saved template to generate the scheduled report.
  4. Enter the schedule information, including:
    • Schedule name: The name of the schedule so you can find it in the Scheduled reports list.
    • Schedule start and end dates: Specify the date that the schedule should start and end. Both are required.
    • Frequency: Select how often the report should run.
    • Report date range: Select the period of time for the data included in the report. This filter overrides any date range filter you set when definign this report.
    • Email reminder: Select this option if you want to get an email reminder when your report is ready.
  5. Select Create schedule. You get a confirmation that your report is scheduled.
  6. You have three options, select one:
    • Done: Returns you to the report.
    • Edit report schedule: Returns you to the Schedule page so you can make modifications to the report schedule.
    • Share scheduled report: Takes you to the Share schedule report page so you can specify names or audiences with whom to share the report.
      1. Enter up to 10 users or 10 audiences.
      2. Check whether users should get an email notification when the scheduled report is ready.
      3. Change the Sender name if applicable. This shows in the From line in the recipient's email.
      4. Enter up to a 250 character message letting the recipients know what is in the report and why they are getting it.
      5. To share the report, select Share scheduled report. Otherwise, you can Cancel to return to the report.
