Report Scheduler

Last updated: 16-Mar-2023

Overview 

The Report Scheduler in Verifone Central enables you to set and generate a transactions report at time intervals scheduled by you. You can set the time and frequency at which the report will be generated, you can apply filters to the transactions included in the report and you can choose who has access to the reports.

The report scheduler can be activated on demand and is set by the Merchant Admin role. For more information, please contact your Verifone sales representative.

    • Report time: Set the time when the report will be generated.

Create A Report Scheduler

   Note: Unlike the reports generated by the Export CSV functionality in the Transactions page, the scheduled reports will contain every single transaction that matches the configured filters. For example, the Void and Capture transactions are added as separate transactions in the report. These follow-on transactions are not displayed in the reports available on the Transaction Reports page, with relevant information such as Transaction Type, Status or Current amount being reflected only as updated fields in the initial transactions. However, in the scheduled reports, the Void and Capture transactions are added as separate lines beyond their initial transaction. 

 7.  When the report is generated, an e-mail is sent out to all the configured e-mail addresses. The e-mail contains a direct link to the report on Verifone Central. If you do not have permission to access that report, an error message will be displayed when you attempt to open the report link. You can download the report after logging-in as a user. Users can only download the reports for the organization they are assigned to and to their underlying sub-organizations as well.  All reports are also available to download from the Generated reports page.

  1. Log in to your Verifone Central account. 

  2.  Navigate to Reports and select Report Scheduler

  3.  In the new window you can see all the report schedulers generated for your organization. You can filter according to: 

  • Date range - to filter the results by the scheduling times, the first date being the start of the scheduling period and the second the end of the scheduling period. 
  • Organisations - the organizations that made the transactions aggregated in the report. 
  • Frequency - how often the report is generated. 
  • Report status - whether the report scheduler is currently Disabled or Enabled. 
  • Report types - the report template used to generate the report. 

  4.  To get more details on a report scheduler, after applying a filter, click on the scheduler you are interested in, and a side panel will appear on the left-hand side. 

  5.   At the bottom right-hand side of the side panel there is an Edit button. You can change all the sections except for the filters to manage report content. To change the filters, you must set up a new report scheduler. 

  6.   If you want to delete a report scheduler, click on the Delete button next to the Edit button.   

  7.   If you want to temporarily interrupt the scheduler, you can click on the slide button on top and set the scheduler to Disabled. This way, you can enabled it again when it is convenient for you.
