Date Range Control On Custom Reports?
-
I noticed on my dashboard that I have the ability to switch between a most recent weekly view and a monthly view, which is great because I can compare site progress on a monthly basis when the full months data has been prepared.
Problem is, there doesn't seem to be an obvious similar control on the custom reporting tab. Ideally, I would like to be able to create custom reports that are based on Monthly metrics rather than weekly.
This seems like pretty basic functionality, surely, I'm overlooking something simple here? Can you all steer me in the right direction on this, thanks!

Hey Jeff - I was able to hop into your account and check out the stats - changing from weekly to monthly is looking good on my end. If you are seeing issues or discrepancies with the reporting send them over to help@moz.com or click the blue chat button on the bottom-right of the screen in Moz.

Yes, been running these since January but just realized that it's only pulling the last weeks data, not the full month (kind of misleading for a monthly report)
-
Ah. Sounds like support will have to chime in on that one. Quick question though, do you have a month's worth of data to report on yet?

Hey Ryan,
Thanks for the response on this. While I get you can schedule reports on a weekly/monthly basis, it doesn't appear that the content within the report it's referencing is based on that.
So for instance, if I go into the modules tab and reference the "Traffic From Organic Search" view that I have added, it by default shows me the last weeks results. I see I have the ability to switch this to monthly on this view, but the change doesn't seem to save when I progress to the end and generate the report, it still references the most recent week.
What I would like is be able to display search results within these custom reports on a monthly basis opposed to the most recent week.

Hi Jeff. The timeline portion is handled via the scheduling drop down at the end of the report. The link for that would be: http://analytics.moz.com/reports/[YOUR.MOZNUMBER]/schedule/[YOUR.REPORT.NUMBER]
There you'll have the option to schedule the report generation and set the daily, weekly, or monthly time frame. Cheers!

When is Previous Month Available in Custom Reports
I was wondering if anyone knows when the previous month is available in the custom reports for a campaign. Specifically, on the 'Add Modules' page my date drop-down has Weekly (Aug 22 - 28) and Monthly (July 2017). I just need to know when Monthly (August 2017) would be available. Thanks.

Hello, Could you please tell me if there is a fixed time for report update? Is it possible that the metrics change, but it shows that report is not updated.

Copy a custom report
I'm monitoring 14 of our companies websites. When I have setup one custom report I would like to copy that report setup to another campaign so they all report the same. Guess I'm lazy but great if I don't need to redo the work 14 times.

More problems with Moz - Monthly Reporting
Hello All, I may be missing something, but I only want to create monthly reports for my clients from this system. A week in SEO is a terrifying rollercoaster, but any I digress. Currently, i'm adding clients to the system, setting up Analytics, Twitter, Google+, keywords etc. I then go to the custom reports menu as I want to build my report now and schedule it to run at the end of the month, however, because a month has not yet passed, I can only create weekly report segments. This means that I have to add a client to your system and then come back a month later to build a report, this is silly, am I using this wrong or is this not right? I don't care if any data is available, I just want to create the report so I don't have to do it later ideally.

Moz Analytics - How can I turn a whole report to 'Monthly'?
Hello, After spending 3 days setting up 14 clients on this system, by this, I mean I went through each client and re-made the same report 14 times as there is no alternative..I have noticed on my reports that: 'Dashboard' is set to 'Weekly' Social is set to 'Daily' Branding is set to 'Monthly' First questions, when I try to run a report, I go to Add Module and change 'Weekly' to 'Monthly', but when I press next, it changes itself back again, am I doing something wrong? UPDATE: I have found that I have go back in the reports, change the heading to 'Monthly' and then re-add this section again. How can I just run a whole report with monthly values? Surely, I do not have to re-do the entire report AGAIN, just to get a different value? I am mortified at how unfinished this product is, if this is the case.

How do I interpret Duplicate Content in a Crawl Report, when it only gives me a URL? How do I know what is duplicated on that page somewhere else?
I need help interpreting the Crawl Report for Duplicate Content. It gives me the URLs of pages that have duplicate content, but how do I know what content exactly is duplicated elsewhere? And how do I figure out where it is duplicated? Also, are there Moz Analytics articles or videos teaching you how to use each component of the analytics programs? Thanks!

Moz Analytics - Custom Report Question
Hello Moz Forums! I'm having problems building custom reports for my clients. So, i've managed to put together a few reports and I've set these to be scheduled for weekly automated emailing! Now, here's the problem, before sending it to my clients, I was testing this by sending it to myself. This is what I receive: http://www.freelance-seo.co.uk/images/Moz.png I don't really want my clients to see 'By Moz!' everywhere when I send this out, is there a way to change this automated mail? Or a way to just just send the PDF without a link? Alternatively, have I just failed in using this product? Edit: Just to clarify! The 'simply change your report settings' option, just takes me to an option to edit the report title, not the email in any way.
