This is the “Schedule Recurring Report” menu. This is where you’ll set report frequency, include comparison data, and setup email information.

4. The first step to scheduling a Recurring Report is setting the frequency

    • Daily reports are sent out each day and display the previous day’s data.
    • Weekly reports are sent out on the selected day and display the previous 7 days’ of data.
    • Monthly reports are sent out on the 1st of each month and display the previous month’s data.
    • Quarterly reports are sent out 4 times a year; on April 1st, July 1st, October 1st, and January 1st and display the previous 3 months of data.

5. You can also include comparison date ranges, previous period and/or year over year.

6. The only required field to schedule the report is “To” but BringShare gives you a few options to customize the email.

    • To: Client’s email to send the report to. To add multiple recipients, separate email addresses with a comma
    • Reply To: Who, from your company, will receive a response to the report email
    • BCC: Blind carbon copy, add someone from your organization to ensure report quality
    • Subject: Email subject
    • Body: Include any additional information, who sent the report, contact information, etc.

7. After reviewing everything, click the green “Schedule Report” button at the bottom of the modal to finalize the report.
