My reports

The my reports area contains a list of all the recent reports you have generated allowing you to quickly access the reports you have run recently without needing to set up filters each time.

Introduction

The my reports area provides a listing of all your favorite and recent reports. From this listing, you can review the following:

  • Name: a customizable label for your report; this allows you to create unique identifiers for reports to help you organize them.
  • Type: this provides a reference to the type of report ran (i.e., daily earnings, program earnings, etc.). If the report is a preview, this will be denoted in brackets after the report label.
  • Requested: this is how long ago the report was originally generated.
  • Expires: this is the date the report expires, learn how to remove the expiration date by favoriting a report here.
  • Trading partner: the label of this column will coincide with your trading partner label (i.e., supplier, customer, etc.). If the report selects multiple or all trading partners, then this will have a value of multiple.

You may also see a star icon on a row indicating the report has been favorited; learn more here.

You will be able to either preview or download a report depending on the action taken when the report was first run. There are important distinctions between these actions:

  • Download: Running the download action from my reports will provide you with the results from the original request; this makes downloads a good way to monitor historical data.
  • Preview: this will run the report against the latest data; you cannot access historical data; once you preview a report, you can then download the new data set afterward.

My report actions

In addition to acting as a historical log of your reporting activity, you can utilize the different actions to simplify common, repetitive data extracts, for example, end-of-month extracts or acquiring attainment data to feed into key performance indicators. Specifically, you can review details here of reports run previously, favorite reports for the future here, and customize the naming of the reports here for easy identification. The remainder of this section will outline how to perform all available actions within my reports.

View details

Each report has a corresponding details and criteria section. The details section will show the following:

  • Status: this will have values of queued, processing, and complete, which indicates when the system first received the report request, when it started working on running the report, and when it finished generating the report.
  • Queued at: this is the time you first requested the report.
  • Started at: this is when the system started generating the report and coincides with when the report first reached the processing status.
  • Completed at: this is when you could access the report data and when the status changed to complete.

The criteria shown will depend on the report type; this section will list each filter and the filter settings when the report was requested.

  1. Click on the report you wish to see the details of; please note that you can click anywhere on the row except the name column.
