Overview
Cato provides a predefined report template that summarizes the score and usage for sites, users, and applications.
Create the template for the recurring or one-time report with the sites that are included in the report over the defined time range. By default, the predefined report template for Experience Monitoring reports shows traffic and data for sites over the defined time frame.
For more about working with reports, see Cato Reports.
Creating a Recurring Site Experience Report
Create a new recurring report by defining the Filters for the items included in the report, as well as the Schedule which defines how often the report is generated - every two minutes, daily, weekly, or monthly. Generated reports are stored in the Cato Cloud, and they can be automatically emailed or downloaded. The Schedule also defines the time range that is covered by each report.
You can select a mailing list of email addresses for the recipients, which can include Cato Management Application admins, and external users.
For more information about Mailing Lists, see Working with Mailing Lists.

From the navigation pane, select Home > Reports.
From the Catalog tab, find and select the template you want to use to generate the report.
Click Generate > Create Schedule.

Generating a Recurring Report On Demand
Recurring reports are automatically generated based on their schedule settings. For example, a weekly report configured for Monday, is generated every Monday. You can also choose to manually generate a recurring report on demand, in which case the generated report uses the defined time range based on the current day. If an admin manually generates a weekly report on a Tuesday, the time range for the report is the previous 7 days starting from that Tuesday, regardless of the starting day of the recurring report. For more information about the time range of recurring reports, see Cato Reports.
