Reports Actions

Reports Actions Overview

There are several actions for Reports that can be taken via Dashboard or API: Re-run Report, View Report History, Dismiss matches, Export to PDF, Flag issue, and Pause/Resume continuous monitoring. These features give you more control over how and when your Reports are run on businesses or users on your platform.

For example, if your organization leverages recurring reports, and you want to deactivate a given user from your platform, you can pause the monitoring of the Report run on that individual so that you are not continuously monitoring an individual who is no longer on your platform. Should you want to reactivate that user, you can resume the continuous monitoring of that individual.

Access to Reports Actions

Reports actions can be accessed from the Inquiries, the Accounts, the Cases, or via the Reports page directly. This article will cover taking action on a Report outside the reports page itself.

To take any action on a Report, select the relevant user’s account. Next, click on the Reports tab, and select the Report you want to take action on. Please see below for the possible actions you can take, as the actions can change depending on whether they’re applicable to the Report type you selected or not.

2. Select the ellipsis icon [three little dots] to see the drop-down menu of possible actions

4. Refresh your dashboard

If you’ve chosen to re-run the Report manually, you can check that the report successfully re-ran by either looking at last updated at timestamp on the Report view or by clicking into Report History, and you’ll see a new manual run.

Pause/Resume Report from Dashboard

In order to pause or resume continuous monitoring on a Report, the Report has to be scheduled to recur with an upcoming run.
