Generate a report and use the archive
Your client just asked you for last quarter’s training compliance numbers, or the board meeting is tomorrow and you need an executive summary — and you don’t want to wait for the next monthly bundle. Generate it now from the report catalog, then download or re-email it later from the archive.
The same surface holds both halves: the Generate tab is the on-demand catalog, the Archive tab is the per-client history of everything that’s ever been produced for this client (on-demand and scheduled). They share the same download / email actions.
Where this lives
Open the client → Compliance → Reports & Evidence. Two tabs at the top — Generate and Archive.
You’ll need
- The client to be onboarded and have data. A brand-new client with no training started will produce an empty report, not an error.
- For some reports: a time window (last 30 / 60 / 90 / 180 / 365 days, or a custom range) or a specific course.
How reports are delivered
Whichever path you pick, the rule is the same: reports are emailed to you when ready, not downloaded directly in the browser. Click Generate, you’ll see a “Queued — check your inbox” confirmation, and the finished PDF or Excel lands in your inbox within a few minutes. Same email goes to anyone you’ve added to the report recipients list for this client.
The Archive holds every report after it’s been generated, so you can re-download or re-email without re-running the catalog.
Generate a report
-
Click the Generate tab if you’re not already on it. The catalog shows every report type, with category chips along the top — All, Overview, Training, Phishing, Security.
-
Filter by category if you know roughly what you want. Overview covers exec summaries and risk; Training covers completion / performance / status; Phishing covers test results; Security covers Dark Web Monitoring (only visible if that feature is enabled for the client).
-
Click Generate on the card of the report you want.
-
For some reports, a parameter modal opens:
- Time-windowed reports (Phishing Overview, Compliance Report) ask for a preset window — last 30 / 60 / 90 days, last 6 months, last year. The Compliance Report also accepts a custom date range.
- Course-specific reports (Course Details) ask which assigned course to run against. Only courses currently in this client’s curriculum show up.
Pick the values and click Generate in the modal.
-
You get a “Queued — check your inbox” confirmation on the card. The button stays disabled briefly to acknowledge the request — once it re-enables you’re free to queue another.
Find and re-download a past report
-
Click the Archive tab. It shows the running count next to the label —
Archive (47)means 47 reports have been produced for this client. -
Narrow the list with the filters at the top:
- All types dropdown — filter to a specific report type (only types that actually exist in the archive appear).
- From / To date pickers — narrow to a date window.
- Clear button shows once a filter is active and resets everything.
-
Each row shows the report type, generated date, and two actions:
- Download — opens the file in a new tab. Use this for a one-off pull when you’re in the dashboard.
- Email — re-sends the report to the recipient list configured for this client. Use this when the original recipients lost the email or you need a new admin on the distribution list to get a copy.
-
Paginate at the bottom — Previous / Next move 25 rows at a time. Page count is shown alongside.
You’ll know it worked when
- On-demand generation — the “Queued — check your inbox” toast appears on the card, and the finished report email lands in the inbox of every report recipient within a few minutes. The new entry also shows up in the Archive tab.
- Archive download — the PDF or Excel opens in a new tab.
- Archive email re-send — an “Email queued” tag appears next to the row’s actions; recipients receive the report a few minutes later.
Frequently asked
How long does generation take? A few minutes for most reports — the heavier ones (large user counts, long date windows on Compliance) can take longer. There’s no progress indicator; just watch your inbox. If 15 minutes have passed and nothing’s arrived, generate it again — the original request may have hit an error.
Why is Dark Web Monitoring missing from my catalog? Dark Web Monitoring is a paid add-on. The report card is hidden when the feature is off for this client — either at the per-client toggle or at your partner-level master switch. To turn it on for a client, see Dark Web Monitoring (or your sales contact if it’s not on your master switch yet).
Can I get a report as Excel instead of PDF?
Each report has a fixed format — the tag on the card (PDF or Excel) tells you which. Status-oriented reports (Training Status, Overdue Courses, Phishing Performance, Department & Manager Training) are Excel because the partner usually wants to slice the data themselves. Summary / narrative reports are PDF.
How is this different from the scheduled monthly bundle? The monthly bundle (configured in Tailor → Automated Reports) runs automatically on the 1st of every month at 11:00 UTC and emails out whichever reports you’ve enabled. The on-demand catalog here is everything else — board-meeting pulls, ad-hoc audit requests, mid-month spot checks. Both flows write into the same archive.
The recipient list is wrong — can I change it? Recipients are configured in Tailor → Automated Reports for the client, plus any global recipients set at the partner level. Add or remove people there and the next generation (or re-send) uses the updated list. See Scheduled reports for details on how the two lists combine.
Can I generate a report across multiple clients at once? Not from this surface — Reports & Evidence is per-client. For cross-client reporting, your partner-level dashboard rolls up the same data. Custom multi-client reporting is on the roadmap; contact our support team if you have a specific use case driving it.
A report I generated isn’t showing up in the Archive yet. The Archive populates only after the report finishes rendering — same trigger as the email. If the email hasn’t arrived, the row won’t be there either. Refresh the page once the email lands.
Can I delete a report from the Archive? No — the archive is append-only. Generated reports stay there for the life of the client. This is by design: most partners use the archive as an audit trail for what evidence they produced and when.
