Reporting - Using Reporting

This article contains information on using the Mimecast Reporting module to analyze email statistics, schedule reports, and access data for infrastructure planning, spam trends, and user activity insights.

Overview

The Reporting module provides you with a view of what is happening in your email environment. This includes detailed statistics on:

• How many messages are being sent or rejected.
• The volume of data being transmitted.

These reports can assist with infrastructure planning through data load analysis, show spam, virus trends, and supply usage reports on a per-user basis.

You can also schedule Reports to be emailed out or download the reports from the Mimecast Administration Console. These reports can then be analyzed and any necessary changes made.

Reporting data is available for a year, although scheduled reports can be stored in PDF for a longer period.

You can use the Reporting functionality, by using the following steps:

1. Log in to the Administration Console.
