80.3 Excel Report

80.3.1 Overview

The Excel report summarizes processing activity for a selectable time range in a multi-sheet Excel file. It is suitable for review or auditing, periodic reporting, compliance evidence or simply for an overview of “What has the program done last week?”.

The report can be generated manually from the log tab or automatically on a schedule (see chapter 40.16).


80.3.2 Creating a report

Step Action
1 In the main window, in the log area, click the Excel report… button in the toolbar
2 In the report dialog, configure time range, output options and storage location
3 Confirm with OK - the report is generated and (depending on option) opened automatically or sent by email

80.3.3 Configuration

Time range

Option Description
Today Processings of the current day
Yesterday Processings of the previous day
Last X days Freely selectable time range (counting back in days)
From / To Specific date range
Unlimited All entries - with large logs the generation time is correspondingly long

Output

Option Description
Storage directory Target folder for the XLSX file
Date in file name If active: produces e.g. Report_2026-05-07.xlsx instead of just Report.xlsx
Open report after creation XLSX is opened in the default program (Excel)
Send report by email Instead of saving locally, the report is sent to configured recipients (see chapter 40.16)

80.3.4 Content of the report

The report contains 6 sheets:

Sheet Content
Overview Summary - counts per category, largest profiles, daily distribution
Successful Processing Detailed list of all successfully processed emails
Errors Detailed list of failed processings
Not Overwritten Emails for which a task was skipped because of an existing file
No Match Emails that were excluded by the filter
Pending Processings Emails that were waiting for processing during the time range (postponed processings)

Per sheet the columns are similar to the UI log display: profile, tasks, date, sender, subject, status. Detail columns such as specific file paths or error messages are added.


80.3.5 Manual vs. automatic

Property Manual report (this chapter) Automatic report (see chapter 40.16)
Trigger Button in the log tab Schedule in Program Options
Configuration Selectable per invocation Set once in Program Options
Target File or email Always email to fixed recipients
Time range options Full range Day/week/month scheme

Both variants use the same generation logic - the Excel structure is identical.


80.3.6 Use case

Weekly management report

Manually create a report for the previous week every Monday morning, send by email to management. Alternatively configure automatic sending in Program Options -> Excel Report.


80.3.7 Tips

  • Date in file name is useful when reports are created regularly - the files do not overwrite each other
