Manage Scheduled Reports page

Overview

This topic provides information on how to use the Manage Scheduled Reports page.

Simplifile provides reports that you can use to gather information about the documents you record using Simplifile. The system maintains a list of the ten most recently run reports that you can view and re‑view.

You can choose to display a cost center and a business unit ID on reports.

You can generate reports for any time period from the first date you began eRcording with Simplifile until the date you run the report.

You can also choose to email specific reports to specific people on a regular basis.

You can create and send reports to individual users on a schedule you set up. You can send reports every day, once a week, once every two weeks (semi‑monthly), or once a month. Below is an example of the Manage Scheduled Reports page.

Letter Description
A To send only one copy of the report to a user who is part of more than one organization, from the Organization dropdown list, choose all of the user’s organizations or choose Select All. This prevents the user from receiving more than one copy of the report.

QUICK TIP:

You can send to a single person as many reports as you need to send.

To send only one copy of the report to someone who is part of more than one organization, mark each organization where the user is a member, or mark Select All.

You can send any report to as many people as need to receive the report.

If you no longer want to send a report to a specific person, mark the box beside the existing subscription you want to cancel and click Remove Subscriptions.
