Scheduled Exports

Updated 

Use Sprinklr's Scheduled Exports to set up automated exports of your Listening and other reporting dashboards.

Sprinklr’s Scheduled Exports allows you to set up automated as well as customizable exports of your Listening, Benchmarking, and other reporting dashboards to keep your team informed. You can easily customize your export by selecting the file format, layout, and scheduling details. The supported file formats are PDF, Excel, PNG, PPT, HTML+, and CSV. You can use Scheduled Exports to keep your team aligned and communicate objectives more efficiently.

The most important features included in Scheduled Exports are:

  • Storage Options: The two available options in the Advanced Exports screen are Default (email notification) and External Storage (FTP/SFTP/S3).

  • PDF Structure: You can combine the PDFs in case you want to get a single PDF for all sections/tabs.

  • New Cover Page: The PDF exports will have a cover page by default for branding (Brand logo) and context: title and filters which make the reports more informative & consumable. You can also disable the cover page if you don't want to use it.

  • End Date Support in Schedule Details: Ability to add/update end date support for Scheduled Reports/Exports.

  • Cover Page Title: Ability to add/update the filename of the downloaded report/excel/PDF.

  • Widget Settings: You can choose to expand widgets like conversation streams, postcards, tables, etc. to 100% in order to reveal all data in the downloaded report or maintain the same widget structure in the report as in the dashboard.

Note:

If a Date Range is set at the Widget level, then it will take precedence over the Date Range that you might have

entered at the Schedule Export window.

Options available for Scheduled Exports

  1. Edit: Click Edit to open the Schedule Export window where you can make the desired changes and then save it.

  2. Clone: Click Clone to open the Schedule Export window. Name the Scheduled Export (by default, it will add clone in the end of the existing name). Click Save. A cloned Scheduled Export is added to the Schedule Export dashboard list view.

  3. Trigger: Click Trigger to export trigger for the Scheduled Export.

  4. Delete: Click Delete to delete the scheduled export. A reconfirmation window to delete Scheduled Export will appear. Click Delete to delete the Scheduled Export permanently.

  5. Share: Click Share to share the scheduled export with user(s) and/or user group(s) of a particular workspace.

To share Scheduled Exports

  1. On the Scheduled Exports record manager window, hover over the Options icon next to the scheduled export you want to share, and click Share.

  2. On the Share Scheduled Export window, first select the Workspace or Workspace Groups in which you want to make your scheduled export visible. And then you can give Edit and/or View permissions, as needed.

  3. Select workspace, user groups, users, and/or roles you want to share the Edit or View permission with.

    • Edit: User(s) or user groups with the Edit permission will have all the permissions like editing, cloning, triggering, deleting, and sharing the scheduled export.

    • View: User(s) or user group(s) with the View permission will only have the 2 permissions – cloning and sharing the scheduled export.

  4. Click Share.

Note:

  1. Whenever you create a new scheduled export and you do not share it with any user or user group, the scheduled export will not be listed in their Scheduled Exports record manager window.

  2. When a scheduled export is shared with another user, the associated external storage configuration will be automatically shared with the view access. Hence, the owner of the scheduled export is not required to manually share the external storage configuration. This will help in maintaining consistency in the handling of scheduled exports for all the users having edit access to it.

    • If you share the View permission of your Scheduled Export with other users, they will be able to view not only the scheduled export on their Scheduled Exports record manager but also the external source configured in that scheduled export in their External Sources record manager. Please note that, since only the View permission has been shared, users will be able to only view the external source in their record manager and in the dropdown options while creating a Scheduled Export.

    • If you share the Edit permission of your Scheduled Export with other users, they will be able to edit the scheduled export and view the external storage configured in the scheduled export. Please note that the Edit permission of Scheduled Export does not let the users edit the external storage configuration added to the scheduled export. In order to that, they must have the Edit permission of that external storage.

  3. For all the existing Scheduled Export configurations, the current governance conditions will be retained. The changes will only be applicable to the newly configured Scheduled Exports.

To Disable the Export Cover page

If you do not want to use the cover page for your Scheduled Export, you can simply disable it. Go to the Scheduled Export window, and find the Export Cover option in the right pane. By default, the Export Cover option is enabled. Toggle it to the left to disable it. This is demonstrated by the GIF below:

Note: If the Secondary User is updated in User Settings, the export owner will automatically update to the new user if the primary user is deactivated, ensuring that exports continue without failure.
