I've got my system set up to create reports on a weekly, monthly and annual basis, however all of my reports so far that are all being produced for the exact same date range. I've linked a screenshot below with my settings as well as all the sports that have been created so far and you'll see that all the reports being generated are ignoring the settings and creating all reports using the same settings and date range:
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Nothing. I had the same thing when I started. A couple of weeks in and it all sorted itself out. Maybe the same will happen for you.
In the meantime you should know that it doesn't actually 'generate' a report but merely a link to the report page on the portal with a reporting range set. Follow any of your links and change the report range to what ever you need and you'll have your daily, weekly and monthly reports. You change the range by editing the address bar start and end values.

alter end and start dates, note they are back to front and stupid american format dates.
positor1 they're not US format dates, they're ISO 8601 formatting which is a standard date format and especially used in data storage. I hate being a data geek 😆
I stand corrected....have to ask..why would we as end users want that? can it not be corrected?
positor1 There is actually some logic behind the ISO date format. It's so easily sortable into date order without messing about with months and days.
Consider our way for the dates 05/12/2022 and 23/11/2022. Without breaking it apart a sort would put 5th December before 23rd November: ISO versions 2022-12-05 and 2022-11-23 would be sorted into the correct order straight off. Very useful in databases and program code.
positor1 as @cluelesscris says it's great for data formatting, I use it a lot in work for automation and reporting purposes
yes i see that and thank you. I still think from a consumers point of view it should be displayed in the uk format.
sorry
