Personal Reports

The Personal Reports menu allows you to create and access your already created personal reports. As they are personal, they cannot be shared with anyone else, even within the same project.

The content of personal reports consists of filtered information from a dashboard widget generated with a scheduled frequency. Currently, only table widget data can be added to personal reports.

Personal reports can be found at Services > Personal Reports on the left navigation.

Proceed as follows

Fulfill the necessary actions as described below, namely:

  1. Enable the service on project level.

  2. Create or use an existing dashboard with a filter widget and another widget, which displays the filtered data. Make sure that the filter widget contains a time range filter as well.

    Currently this feature is supported only for table widgets.

  3. Create a report, where you define the frequency of report generation.

  4. Create a report topic, where the actually filtered data from the table widget for the respective time range will be gathered.

  5. Check the email notifications for quick access to the reported data.

All these steps are explained in more detail below.
