Schedule Reports
This article provides details on how to schedule reports as a collaborator in Syskit Point.
When you manage permissions and workspaces in your Microsoft 365 tenant, it is important to stay regularly updated on some aspects of your M365 workspaces.
Rather than generating specific reports manually every time you need them, Syskit Point allows you to automate report generation and sends the reports to you at your selected frequency.
Scheduled reports provide an easy way to enable contiunous tracking. That way you can take quick action and make any necessary changes to your workspaces.
Here are a few examples of the way the Scheduled Reports feature can be utilized:
If you want to track any access changes that happened in the previous week, you can schedule the Site Permission Changes report to help you stay up to date and keep your workspace secure
If you want to control what is being shared externally from your workspaces, you can schedule an Externally Shared Content report and set it up so that you will receive the report daily, weekly or monthly, based on your needs. That way, you can be confident that access to the data inside of your workspaces is well controlled.
If you want to stay on top of who has access to your workspaces, you can schedule the Permissions Matrix report and also have it delivered at regular intervals. This helps you identify which users have access to what content and which users might need to be given access or removed from having access.
With the help of the Scheduled Reports feature, you can:
Create Scheduled Reports from views and reports generated in Syskit Point - all of the filters you define when generating a report or view are then applied when sending the scheduled report
Setup automatic sending of PDF or XLSX reports to one or more e-mail recipients in your tenant
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
Please note! You can only set up Scheduled Reports for workspaces where you are the owner.

By default, Scheduled Reports are sent once a day. As mentioned, reports can be delivered via e-mail 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, the Syskit point admin will need to make changes in the E-mail Settings.
