My InstaReports

The second tab within the InstaReports application contains a table of every InstaReport your team builds.

Let’s go through each column found within the table:

Company Name

This is the name of the company analyzed within InstaReport.

Status

This indicates the current status of the InstaReport build. This column also correlates to the Status filter that you can find by looking on the far left side of this page. This column will contain a one-word descriptor along with a matching color that corresponds to the filter options.

  • Built - The InstaReport was successfully built and is now available.

  • Queued - The InstaReport is currently in the queue and will be built soon.

  • Retrying - An error prevented the build from completing, but is now attempting to retry.

  • Failed - An error prevented the build from completing on both the initial attempt and the second attempt. If this error persists, please check to make sure your data is correct. If all else fails, please reach out to a team member for support.

You can use the filter options on the left to quickly sort your InstaReports for easier browsing. Check the box next to one or more Status options and the table will update automatically.

While outside the table, the Activity Feed on the far right corresponds to your various reports. If you click on any report within the table, the Activity Feed will update automatically. This shows a few pieces of key information:

  • Queued - This will feature a green checkmark when the InstaReport is successfully queued. It will also show the exact date and time this took place.

  • Built - This will feature a green checkmark when the InstaReport is successfully built. It will also show the exact date and time this took place.

At the bottom, you will see a header titled View Tracking. This shows the name and contact details of whom you sent the InstaReport for review. You can check to see if the user opened the InstaReport by looking at the circle on the left. A green checkmark will also populate here when the user accesses their report.

Reporting

The last tab contains a basic reporting breakdown for all of your InstaReports builds.

The left graph details all of your successfully Built InstaReports. The bolded number on the left shows the total number of InstaReports. The percentage in parentheses tells you how many attempted builds were successful versus how many failed. For example, if this shows 100%, that means all of your InstaReport builds were successful.

The second graph shows how many InstaReports were viewed. The bolded number on the left shows the total amount of views, while the percentage in parentheses compares your total views to total builds.

You can also hover over any point on either graph to see exactly how many builds or views you had on a specific day.
