    Statistical Cycle
    By Day

    If the statistics cycle is selected as By Day, the report shows data on a daily basis. The platform will send a report at the sending time on the selected day(s) of the week, which contains information of the events triggered on the day (24 hours) before the sending date.

    For example, if you select Monday, Tuesday, and Friday in the Send On failed, and set the sending time as 18:00, the platform will send a report at 18:00 on every Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, containing details of all the events triggered between 00:00 and 24:00 on every Sunday, Monday, and Thursday.

    By Week

    If the statistics cycle is selected as By Week, the report shows data on a weekly basis, which may be less time-consuming. The platform will send a report at the sending time on the selected day of the week, which contains information of events and alarms triggered on the recent 7 days or recent 14 days before the sending date.

    For example, if you set the sending time as 6:00 on Monday, the platform will send a report at 6:00 in the morning on every Monday, containing details of all the events triggered between last Monday and Sunday.
