Running a Report Manually
A manual run is an immediate execution of a report triggered by a button click, independent of any schedule. It suits testing settings, one-off exports, and unplanned data refreshes.
Before you begin
- The report must be saved (status not Draft)
- The connection must be active
- The output sheet must be writable
Step-by-step instructions
1. Open the report page
Go to the Reports section in the left-hand menu and open the report you need.
2. Click "Run Now"
The Run Now button is in the upper-right corner of the report page. Click it.
3. Wait for it to finish
After clicking the button: the status changes to Pending, then Running; a progress bar appears showing the current stage and the estimated completion time. Wait until the status changes to Completed.
4. Check the result
After it finishes successfully: go to the Output tab and check the number of rows written. Open the Google Sheets output sheet and make sure the data is correct. Check the Logs tab — it may contain warnings about incomplete data.
5. If there's an error, investigate the cause
If the status changes to Failed: open the run details, review the error message, and check the logs to diagnose the issue.
How to verify
- The report's status should change to Completed
- A new entry with type Manual should appear in the Run History tab
- Current data should appear in the output sheet
Limitations
- You can't run a report that is already running (status Running)
- You can't run a report with an inactive connection
- There's no limit on how often you can run manually, but you can't run the same report in parallel
