Scheduling Emailed Reports in the Report Builder

Schoox provides you with powerful reporting within your academy, giving you the ability to track student progress in a number of ways.  You are now able to receive reports automatically via email, based on the specific parameters you set up.

The Report Builder feature provides very detailed data about your members' training performance and gives you the option not only to create your own reports but also schedule them to be sent to specific recipients on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.

To do so, navigate to the Team Workspace, Expand Reporting on the left navigation, then select Report Builder.

Click on the Private Reports tab, hit Create New Report and choose the type of your report according to your needs. Set up the Report Options, select the Fields that you want to include and choose if you want to Schedule your Report to be automatically delivered to you or others within the organization.

NOTE:

  • All reports are reliant on the organizational structure. When setting up a Scheduled Report, only those accessible to the report creator based on the organizational structure will appear in the list of recipients. Also, only those individuals accessible to the report viewer will appear on each report. (Reports will not appear to individuals if there they do not include anyone visible to them.) Public Reports, on the other hand, are available to all. These reports will be populated only with those individuals to which the report viewer has access based on the organizational structure.
  • Admins have an extra tab available, named All Scheduled Reports. Under this tab, users with Admin rights can see all of the scheduled reports that members created for themselves. Only reports who have as a recipient the report creator will be available under this tab.
