How do I set up scheduled / automated reports?

  • Updated

You can now schedule custom reports to be auto-emailed! This powerful new tool means you no longer have to run, export, and email out reports manually.

  • Time 
    • The report will be triggered to run at the selected time
    • Note: Automated reports use a global queue across all Shelterluv users; when there are a lot of reports scheduled to run at the same time, there may be a slight delay before it reaches your recipient(s).
