Managing a Site > Business Analytics

Overview

Reports can provide specific information about the devices paired to your site and other site entities such as device groups, operators, etc. (= the site's master data) which makes them very useful for data analysis.

The "Reporting" sub-module (included in the "Business Analytics" module of the "Control Panel") displays the reports created at account level. Reports are NOT managed at site level - it is NOT possible to create a report, edit its settings or delete it.

A site user with the appropriate access rights can access the existing reports to view and export its data for analysis, whenever necessary.

In the Site Dashboard's "Control Panel", click Business Analytics Button and, in the resulting row, click Reporting Sub Module Button to access the "Reports" page.
