Scheduling Automatic Reports

One real timesaving feature of AdSense reports is the ability to schedule
said reports to run automatically, rather than having to manually set up the
report and run it on the site each time you need it. To take advantage of
automatic scheduling of reports, though, you have to create a report template
before you can schedule it to run automatically. (If the whole idea of
templates sounds a bit fuzzy to you,
After you create a report template, you should see it as an option in your
Report Manager. (If it’s not there, then the template wasn’t successfully created
and you need to go through the creation process outlined earlier again.)
Follow these steps to schedule the report to run automatically:
1. Log on to your AdSense account.
The Reports page appears.
2. On the Reports tab, click the Report Manager link.
3. On the Reports Manager page, scroll down until you see the Saved
Report Templates section.
The Saved Report Templates section shows you all the reports that
you’ve saved as templates. Next to each report is a Frequency column,
a Send To column, and a Format column,
4. Using the Frequency drop-down menu, select how often you want the
report to run.
Your choices are Never, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly.
After you select a frequency, the default e-mail address is displayed for
your account in the Send To column. That’s where the report will be
sent unless you change it.
5. To change the default e-mail address, select an address from the Send
To drop-down menu.
If the address you want to send the report to isn’t listed in the dropdown
menu, do the following:
a. Click Edit Addresses.
You’re prompted to save your changes before you continue.
b. Save the changes or click OK.
A form opens into which you can type new addresses.
c. Add the new e-mail address.
You can add multiple addresses, too. Enter the addresses one per
line.
d. Click Save Addresses.
The new e-mail address(es) appear in the Send To drop-down
menu.
6. From the Format drop-down menu, select the format for the report
that you want to send.
Your choices here are CSV or CSV-Excel. (CSV Excel is just a report
format that’s specifically set for Microsoft Excel.)
7. Click Save Changes.
You’re done!
