Create and schedule reports

These reports can be exported as .csv files for further analysis and saved as administrative report items in your organization for future reference. You can also schedule some reports to run automatically.

Note:

ArcGIS Online stores usage data for the past two years only.

Create a report

To create a single report, complete the following steps:

  1. Verify that you are signed in to your organization.

    Your account must be a member of the default administrator role.

  2. At the top of the site, click Organization and click the Reports tab.
  3. Click Create report and click Single report.
  4. From the Report type drop-down menu, choose the type of report to create.

    1. Choose a duration for the reporting period: Day (available for activity reports only), Week, Month, Quarter, or Year (for item view count reports only).

      You cannot select a current or future duration.

    2. For a daily report, click the Timeframe box and select a day from the calendar.

      The report starts at 12:00 a.m. GMT on the day you select.
