Schedule Reports

When you manage permissions and workspaces in your Microsoft 365 tenant, creating reports, sharing them, or saving them for future reference might take up a lot of your time – that’s where the Scheduled Reports in Syskit Point can help!

With the help of this feature, you can do the following:

• create Scheduled Reports from views and reports generated in Syskit Point, meaning that all filters you define when generating a report or view are applied when sending the scheduled report

• Set up automatic sending of PDF or XLSX reports to one or more email recipients in your tenant

• Setup automatic saving of PDF or XLSX reports to a document library in a SharePoint site

• Define how often and when to send Scheduled Reports

• Create a Subscription - group of Scheduled Reports that share the same schedule frequency and delivery options

Users with the following roles assigned in Syskit Point can create Scheduled reports:

• Syskit Point Admins

• Syskit Point Global Viewers

• Syskit Point Collaborators

To learn more about roles in Syskit Point, see the following article.

The Scheduled Reports screen enables you to:

  • Send the subscription manually

  • Edit Subscription settings

  • Pause or Start a paused Subscription

  • Delete the Subscription and all associated reports

If you select a single report inside a subscription, two options are available:

• Delete (2), which removes the selected report from the parent subscription

Scheduled Reports Delivery

By default, Scheduled Reports are sent once a day. As mentioned, reports can be delivered via email or uploaded to a document library. The results for both cases are displayed in the pictures below.

To change the time when the Scheduled Reports are delivered, use the Scheduled Reports section in the E-mail Settings (1).
