Monthly Report Example
We know it is important to you to receive your statistics in a timely fashion every month. Thus, we are very proud to implement an automated monthly report process. Starting in December 2019, each institution will receive their statistics directly from Google Analytics on the first of every month (the exact time may vary, but it will arrive within the 24hr window of the 1st). A graphic for interpreting these reports is available below. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please let us know!
