Schedule Reports
This article provides all information about scheduled reports in SysKit Point.
Scheduled Reports are available in the Security & Compliance plan and higher tiers. See the pricing page for more details.
When you manage permissions and resources 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
- setup 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
In SysKit Point it is possible to schedule:
- All reports, except the Site Analytics report
- All views available on the overview screens – Sites, Microsoft Teams & Groups, and the Users overview screen

- Schedule Report (1)
