Using Reports

Partner and Multi-Account: Executive Reports Overview

Executive reports, available Diamond level subscriptions, provide a central location for the data that is most important to you and your accounts. Executive reports are made up of widgets that allow you to display your organization’s phishing, training, and Risk Score metrics. You can also add supporting titles, subtitles, text, and tables. You can also save, print, and schedule your executive reports. 

Note: Data from your KSAT console can take up to 24 hours to process and display in your executive reports.

Executive Report Widgets

Each executive report is made up of highly customizable widgets. There are two text-based widgets: Title & Logo and Text Block. There are also three report-based widgets, which are listed below:

  • Training Metrics: This widget includes a graph or table customized with training activity, such as time spent on training, training status, and assigned content. This data can be grouped and filtered by criteria like account, organization, and progress status.

  • Risk Score Trend: This widget includes a graph, table, or gauge displaying the Risk Score based on criteria like account, organization, and date range.

To learn more about each widget, read the subsections below.

Title & Logo Widget

By default, the Title & Logo widget includes who generated the report, the date, and your organization’s logo. You can use the text editor to write and format your own text.

The Show Logo checkbox at the top of the page uses the company logo that has been uploaded to your account settings. For more information, see our article titled Add Your Company Logo, Logo URL, and Brand Color to Your Console.

Below the text editor, you’ll find a preview of this widget. The preview automatically updates as you write and format your text. When you’re finished customizing your widget, click Save in the bottom-right corner of the window.

Training Metrics Widget

To learn how to customize the Training Metrics widget, read the list below:

  1. By default, each widget uses the Report Settings selected. To change the account, start date, or end date for this widget, enable the toggle in the blue banner at the top of the window.
  2. Value Type: Select the value to display in this widget, such as total time spent or percentage complete.
  3. Category: Select how the data is sorted, such as by enrollment date or account.

    • If the value type includes percentages, the total is displayed as a weighted average. This weighted average considers multiple factors, such as how many pieces of content are in a training campaign.
      Note: We use weighted averages because a simple average could be misleading. Simple averages treat all percentages the same, regardless of the number of users in a campaign. The weighted average considers the number of users involved and more accurately represents the information.
  7. Additional Filters: Customize this widget further with options like the number of results to include or the date interval displayed. 
  8. Include items with blank values: Enable this setting to display items that have blank values for your selected criteria. For example, if you select Department as a category, users without a department listed will be included.

    • Show totals for Category selection: Use this filter to calculate a total for the variable selected from the Category drop-down menu.

    Note: At this time, partner and multi-admin accounts are unable to support the selection of specific campaigns.

      Note: We use weighted averages because a simple average could be misleading. Simple averages treat all percentages the same, regardless of the number of users in a campaign. The weighted average considers the number of users involved and more accurately represents the information.
