Creating Reports using the Reports Wizard
It is possible to create aggregated summary reports using the Report wizard feature. It is not yet possible to create granular transaction reports.
The Reports wizard allows you to create your own useful report from data stored in the database and schedule the reports to be generated at periodic intervals and receive them through SFTP or to the configured Email. The reports can be generated in Excel or CSV formats.
