Sharing Your Report with a Non-Voluum User
The Shared Reports feature enables you to give read-only access to the predefined set of stats for your associates through a shareable link. The following article describes how to create a shared report and how to manage those ones already created.
Creating a Shared Report
Step 1: Define the data set
In order to create the shared report, firstly, you need to decide what data you want to share. You can share all the data that you see or define a specific set in the report. The reports are based on the selected campaign's element. In the following example, a data set based on a campaign will be defined:
Sign in to Voluum
Go to the Campaign tab. The Campaign view will show up.
If you want to include all campaigns in your shared report, go directly to the Step 2: Create the shared report section.
(optionally) You can select the desired date range from the drop-down menu on the right-hand side of the screen and click the Apply button.
(optionally) If you want to narrow down the data set for a given campaign, click on the selected offer and click the Report button. The specific report will open in the new tab, next to the Home tab.
(optionally) Define the following options:
(optionally) Select appropriate grouping from the drop-down menus (up to 3 simultaneous groupings available)
(optionally) Select the element that you want to create a detailed report for and click the Drill-down report button (up to 7 levels of depth available).
Step 2: Generate the shared report
Once you defined the data set, you can create the shared report. To do so, perform the following steps:
In the tab with your report, click the Export/Import button and select the Shared report or Download CSV option from the drop-down menu.
Define the options below:
Provide the name of the report in the Name field.
Note
Voluum Note: The name of the report is based on the following pattern: {selected_campaign _element} - {country_label or Global} - {your_unique_custom_name}. You can disregard the proposed name and provide your own unique name. Please note that, currently, information on the selected date range in the report is not included in the shared report. You might want to add this information to the shared report name.
Put the tick in the Name visible in the shared report box if you want to include your unique report name in the shared report (note that it may contain your campaign element's name).
Select the Report time zone from the drop-down menu.
Select the date range from the Show report for drop-down menu:
For static data: select the Fixed date range option to define the fixed period of time.
For dynamic data: select the predefined period of time (such as Yesterday or Last month) or select the Custom period from the drop-down menu to define the custom time period. This will cause your report to update automatically over time.
In the Show columns section select which column should be visible in the shared report by checking the box next to the column name.
Click the Create link button.
The Shared link created form will show up with the shareable link available. Click the link to view the shared report.
Step 3: Provide the shared link to your associates
After generating the shareable link, you can provide it to your selected associates. Do not alter the link in any way and keep it exclusive to trusted parties.
