2.2.11 Create, edit and request regular reports
VisualGroups usage reports are created for a defined time period and sent to the given e-mail address. You can create different types of user reports (daily, weekly, monthly) and define individual settings for each of these usage reports. You can also request reports on past periods and generate them on demand.
* 
In some cases the start and end time of the logging time may differ from the defined time. The logging time is automatically extended if calls are detected outside the defined time.

Reports are created and sent via email within 30 minutes after the defined logging time.
