Schedule a Report

Scheduled reports are delivered (to a set of emails, FTP location, or S3 location) on a specified regular basis (daily, weekly, etc.)

• Scheduling is optional as data can always be downloaded from the Analytics Reports portal.
• Use scheduled reporting to consistently push recurring data reports.
• Apply scheduling to any new or previously created custom report.
  • To schedule a Standard Report or a report which you are not the owner of, first Duplicate the report and save it as a custom report with a new name. For more detail, see Duplicate or Copy from a Report.
