Report snapshot functionality in HostBill allows to create snapshots: generate reports in a given time period and store them on a server and optionally send them to staff. Thanks to this option, you can get historical data, add it to admin area widgets and compare the results in time. 

Open

After setting report (as described here) proceed to section 5. of the report editor. Here you can enter:

• Snapshot name

• Frequency:

  • On demand

  • Daily at certain hour

  • Weekly on certain day, at certain hour

  • Monthly every X days, at certain hour

• Target:

  • None - just save report data to db

  • Save to filesystem for later download

  • Email to staff members 

• Data to retain - set 0 for unlimited

Note: When creating snapshot currently selected columns/params/conditions will be used. Changing them after snapshot is created will not affect previously generated snapshots.

Additionally, when generating the report, you can choose the option "Generate report & store results" which will save the results as a snapshot with frequency on demand and unlimited data to retain, saved to filesystem.

All automatically generated snapshots are listed in a new tab: Report Snapshots. In the listing you'll find the snapshot details including the date when it was created, the date of the last export, and the number of exports created.
