Custom Reports are an easy way to view and share DubBot data. Custom Reports provide you with a sharable link that can be accessed by your colleagues, leadership, administrators, and decision-makers without requiring an account in DubBot. Users who choose to get Notification emails from DubBot will also have links to these Custom Reports in those emails.

Types of Custom Reports

Both Reports Have ...

  1. Overall Site Score

  2. Score for each check type selected displayed

  3. Report Versions - In the upper right corner of the report, you will see a rectangle with a date in the middle and directional arrows on either side. This allows you to scroll through all the versions of that report that have been generated.

  4. Share Report button to copy the URL of the report for easy sharing.
