where data is automatically provided in the corresponding report for the duration that you specify.

• If you have logged in as an Administrator or a user with administrator privileges, generate or
save reports, or schedule reports periodically.

or save reports.
You can also create or schedule reports on favorite charts. For more information, see “Creating
