Set up Hero reports

The key features of a Hero report are:

• You can include up to 10 devices on a single report. This allows you to easily track the status of multiple devices in a single report.

• You can include both hardware-based and Datto Cloud SIRIS devices in the same report. This gives you a complete view of your backup environment, regardless of the type of devices you are using.

• Schedule reports to be sent automatically. This ensures that you receive regular updates on the status of your backup environment, without having to manually generate reports.

• Delete scheduled reports that are no longer required. This ensures that you receive updates on your current and most relevant reports only.

• You can customize the report to include one or more products (refer to Report options) and sections (refer to Report sections).

  By selecting the appropriate options, you can customize the report to include the information that is most relevant to your organization. For example, if you only want to include information about your Datto physical backup devices and Datto SaaS Defense, select Datto physical backup devices and Datto SaaS Defense from the products list. If you want to include all sections in the report, select all options from the sections list.

  NOTE  The Datto logo will be replaced with the Organization's logo if it is set in the partner portal. Refer to Manage company and organization users and roles.

  After selecting the options to appear in your report, you can: 

  • Schedule a time to send the report. Scheduled Hero reports are sent any time between 7:00 AM and noon of selected timezone.

  • Include a title page with the organization's logo. This gives the report a professional appearance and helps to identify the target organization for the report.

  • Include additional recipients on the report. This allows you to share the report with multiple stakeholders.

  • View the sample report before sending it. Previewing a report ensures that it contains only the information that is required.
