Schedule or Share a Bringg Report

  • Dark
    Light

Article Summary

You can schedule and share your reports so that users can refresh the data regularly, or edit them in Bringg. You can also export and send a static report that stakeholders can view even if they do not have an account in Bringg. This allows colleagues and stakeholders to monitor daily operations and track your delivery performance, or to receive a recurring update for ongoing visibility and long term analysis.

For example, you can send a report to your accounting team showing the tips owed to each driver at the end of a payment cycle, or share reports of delivery costs with management at the end of each month to calculate overall profits.

Procedure

Step 1: Open Bringg and navigate to Analytics > Reports, then select a report from My Reports or System Reports.

Access reports 

Step 2: To share a live report that Bringg users can refresh and edit in Bringg, select the context menu  > Share. Users can then find the report in the user's Reports page along with all other reports created by or shared with them.

Then choose a Bringg user from the list or start typing the user name and select from the search results.

Share report

 

Tip
If the recipient is not a Bringg user you can still share the report by exporting and sending a snapshot of it instead.

Step 3: (Optional) To allow a user to make changes to the report, select the user's name, then select Viewer to change the user to Editor.

To change or revoke user permissions, select Can edit or Can view next to the user's name and select a different access type, or Remove. Bringg then sends a notification email with a link to access the report to each reciepient.

Change or revoke user permissions

 

Step 4: To send a static report by email to a colleague even if they do not have a user in Bringg , select the context menu then Send now.

Choose a file format (CSV or JSON), enter the recipients email addresses, then select Send. The resulting email allows the recipients to download the report locally or view it in Bringg.

Tip
When exporting data in different languages via CSV, make sure your software settings support the applicable special characters.

Step 5: To keep colleagues consistently updated with new data, you can set up a report to be exported and sent by email on a recurring schedule, or share a live report that users can refresh for the latest information at their convenience.

To set up a report to be repeatedly exported and sent by email, select Schedule Report.

Tip
Typically your report would use a relative time frame, such as Last Month or This week, so it refreshes with newer data whenever you select Run. If needed, adjust the time filter.
