In this article, you will learn how to create your custom reports from Swat.io as PDF or Excel files and how to download these manually. Swat.io also offers the option to export your custom dashboards automatically and to schedule these exports individually.
What are reports?
With reports, you can generate custom analyses for your channels as PDF or Excel files. You can define a specific time period in which all interactions and metrics are included.
Structure of the Explorer-Report
The manual report in the Reports-Explorer gives you an overview of the following metrics:
Fans and Subscribers β summary
Fans and Subscribers β per channel
Post Performance β summary
Post Performance β per channel
Post Performance
Customization and filtering options
You can manually choose the time period for which the report should be compiled. Additionally, you can optionally define a comparison period to put the values into context. You can also select any number of your channels to include in the report.
The third way to narrow down the report results is through additional filters. Similar to the time period and channel selection, you can define the following options: post type, promotion of the post, campaign and tags.
Manual download of the Explorer report
Using the Export button in the top right corner, you can export the report in the Explorer at any time as a PDF or Excel file. The export will then be sent to you per email and contains the data from the Explorer with your custom filters for the selected time period.
