Create Reports

Learn how to build custom reports

Reports transform your Activity page data into customizable exports with precise filters.

By default, reports capture the last 30 days of activity data across all columns in CSV format. You can customize this using various filters and options:

• Time Range: Choose between relative periods (last 7 days) or absolute date ranges

• Access Filters: Filter by specific grantees, integrations, permissions, and risk levels

• Column Selection: Control which data columns appear in your exports

• Format Options: Generate reports in CSV or PDF formats

Apono's reports serve as access review documentation that meets compliance requirements:

• SOC 2: Access oversight & audit trails

• GDPR & HIPAA: PII protection & access monitoring

• PCI DSS & SOX: Secure handling of financial data & reporting

You can schedule or generate on demand reports to support quarterly audits, compliance reporting, and security reviews. Read Compliance: Audit and Reporting for more insights on this topic.
