Reports (/analytics/reports) generates point-in-time, downloadable analytics and scan-data files for a chosen set of QR codes, folders, tags, categories, or users and a chosen date range. It’s the one-off counterpart to Email reports, which delivers reports on a recurring schedule instead of on demand.
Reports is only shown in the sidebar for accounts with export permission (Pro plans and above).

Creating a report

1

Open the Create Report drawer

From Analytics > Reports, select Create Report. This opens a drawer where you configure the report.

2

Select what the report covers

Under Select QR Codes, Folders, Tags, Categories or Users, choose the entity type from the dropdown, then select the specific items (or Select all) in View/Edit Selection. Optionally check Exclude Bot Traffic to filter out non-human scans.
3

Set the time period

Select Select Time Period to open a date-range picker and choose the start and end dates the report should cover.
4

Choose report types and formats

Under Select Reports and Format, you can request either or both of:
  • Analytics Report — a visual summary, exportable as PDF, XLS, or XLSX.
  • Scan Data Report — the underlying scan records, exportable as CSV, XLS, or XLSX.
Each has its own format dropdown, so you can request an Analytics Report as PDF and a Scan Data Report as CSV in the same request.
5

Optionally save the configuration

Check Save this report to keep this combination of entities, filters, and formats so you can re-run it later without re-entering everything — saved configurations appear under saved reports, accessible from a link at the top of the drawer via a Select saved reports dropdown.
6

Create the report

Select Create New Report. The drawer closes and a new row appears in the Reports table with a Requested On timestamp and a Status of In Progress.

​
After you request a report

Requested reports are tracked in a table with these columns:
  • Requested On — when you submitted the request.
  • Generated On — when the report finished processing (shown as — while still generating).
  • Requested By — the user who requested it.
  • Status — a progress indicator, starting at In Progress.
  • Action — where you’d download the finished file, or cancel a pending request.
While verifying this page against a live test account, a requested report (Analytics Report as PDF + Scan Data Report as CSV, covering all QR codes) stayed in the In Progress state with Generated On still showing — for several minutes without completing or producing a download link. This may be specific to the test/dev environment used for verification rather than production behavior, but if you see a report stuck in In Progress for an extended period, it’s worth flagging to support.

Where to go next

  • Analytics dashboard — the live dashboard this data is drawn from, with instant on-screen exports.
  • Email reports — for reports delivered automatically on a recurring schedule instead of generated on demand.
