Use the Report Center to gain a fresh insight into your website with a wide range of usage reports and dashboards. In the Report Center, you can easily create dynamic reports that feature charts and tables, either by making use of one of CardioLog's existing templates or by building a report from scratch. You can schedule a report to run automatically at any interval you like, and you can preset permissions to view and/or edit a certain report or dashboard to ensure that the right people have access to the right data. It's also possible to export a report to various standard formats including SharePoint web parts, and to email a report to a new address or a predetermined distribution list.

9. After designing the report, it is possible to create a static version with real time data (by selecting Generate Report) or to wait until the report is automatically generated according to the report scheduling. As long as there are no static versions for the report, it will be displayed in Edit Mode (if there are edit permissions for the current user) if it is selected from the Reports tree in the Navigation Pane. Otherwise, the latest static version will be displayed.
