Step-by-step walkthrough

  1. 01

    Check the workspace reporting timezone before interpreting daily charts or exported dates. Use an IANA timezone that reflects the intended reporting calendar.

  2. 02

    For a scheduled report, read its delivery timezone separately. The schedule’s time does not redefine the workspace’s reporting dates.

  3. 03

    Choose Yesterday when you need a completed daily period. A report including Today can contain partial figures.

  4. 04

    After downtime or a daylight-saving transition, inspect the next occurrence and delivery history rather than assuming every missed occurrence is replayed.

Expected result

A consistent interpretation of periods, dates, and scheduled delivery.

Important details

Relative dates resolve for the scheduled occurrence, while metrics are generated at send time. A saved definition is not an immutable historical snapshot.
