Overview

  • TrackAbout Support can create customized reports for you.
  • These reports can be either emailed to you on a schedule or they can appear in the Custom Reports section of your site.
  • See the information below about these customized reports...


Getting the Data

There are two different ways that you can get these reports

Emailed on a schedule

  • In this case we'll setup a schedule for when the report is emailed.
    • For example: The 2nd of every month or every sunday
  • The emails are sent between 4-5am US Eastern time. (9-10 am UTC aka Greenwich Mean Time)
  • The report will be an attachment to the email. This will usually be in Microsoft Excel format unless you need something different.
  • The report can be sent to as many email addresses as you would like.

Added to the Custom Reports section of your site

  • This will appear on the Custom Reports section of your site.
  • Any user with the "view custom reports" permission will be able to see all custom reports
    • Note that TrackAbout plans to give you more control with permissions for individual reports in the future.


Input

  • Today there is not a way for you to enter any input parameters into these reports.
  • So for instance you cannot enter a start date and end date for a report.
  • However a report can be built with default parameters along the lines of 'from the first day of last month to the last day of last month'.
  • Note that TrackAbout plans to give you a way to add input parameters in the future


Output

The output can be in one of these formats

  • Excel: This is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet file. It is a 'real' spreadsheet file where you can sum the rows and do whatever else you can normally do in Excel.
  • PDF: Adobe PDF format
  • CSV: Comma Separated value format. This is normally used if you want to import the data into some other system.
  • XML: This is normally only used if you want to import the data into some other system.


Pricing

Report Creation

The standard price for setting up reports is a one time fee of US$250.

Some reports maybe be too large and complicated for this fee and may require a special quote. We'll let you know if that is the case. There is no charge to contact us and discuss or estimate a report.

Report Changes

Changes to existing custom reports will be charged at $100 per hour.
