Automating reports is essential for efficient collaboration among teams and partners, eliminating the need to manually share spreadsheets and constantly verify recipient lists. Shippabo's Schedule Report feature empowers users to generate and distribute tailored reports, ensuring the right stakeholders receive the right data at the right time. Let’s overview how to set up automated reports & the various types of reports you can generate!
The following guide offers a brief overview of the process to create and automate your reports.
To review the reports you have already configured for distribution, click Insights in the top navigation menu and subsequently select Scheduled Reports.
Right away, you’ll notice that you have a few different types of scheduled reports you can create, originating from your Shipments list, Containers list, Statements list, and Product list.
To set up a report for your shipments, click on the Shipment tab after logging into the Shippabo platform. From there, begin building your report by selecting the “+ New” Icon in your Views panel, on the left hand side.
From here, you’ll be prompted to give your view a name, as well as adding filter selections to it.
Once you’ve made your selections, press “Save View”.
Now your view is available within your Shared Views panel, on the left side of your screen!
