Date Range Control On Custom Reports?

[Huemor]

I noticed on my dashboard that I have the ability to switch between a most recent weekly view and a monthly view, which is great because I can compare site progress on a monthly basis when the full months data has been prepared.

Problem is, there doesn't seem to be an obvious similar control on the custom reporting tab.  Ideally, I would like to be able to create custom reports that are based on Monthly metrics rather than weekly.

This seems like pretty basic functionality, surely, I'm overlooking something simple here?  Can you all steer me in the right direction on this, thanks!

Hi Jeff. The timeline portion is handled via the scheduling drop down at the end of the report.  The link for that would be: http://analytics.moz.com/reports/[YOUR.MOZNUMBER]/schedule/[YOUR.REPORT.NUMBER]

There you'll have the option to schedule the report generation and set the daily, weekly, or monthly time frame. Cheers!

Hey Ryan,

Thanks for the response on this.  While I get you can schedule reports on a weekly/monthly basis, it doesn't appear that the content  within the report it's referencing is based on that.

So for instance, if I go into the modules tab and reference the "Traffic From Organic Search" view that I have added, it by default shows me the last weeks results.  I see I have the ability to switch this to monthly on this view, but the change doesn't seem to save when I progress to the end and generate the report, it still references the most recent week.

What I would like is be able to display search results within these custom reports on a monthly basis opposed to the most recent week.

Ah. Sounds like support will have to chime in on that one. Quick question though, do you have a month's worth of data to report on yet?

[Huemor]

Yes, been running these since January but just realized that it's only pulling the last weeks data, not the full month (kind of misleading for a monthly report)

Hey Jeff - I was able to hop into your account and check out the stats - changing from weekly to monthly is looking good on my end. If you are seeing issues or discrepancies with the reporting send them over to help@moz.com or click the blue chat button on the bottom-right of the screen in Moz.
