# Running Reports

> How administrators run and export reports, including the Group Spending report.

[Reports](/features/reports) turn platform activity into data you can filter and export. This guide covers running them. Reports are permission-controlled — see [who can see them](/features/reports#who-can-see-them).

## Running a report

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Reports">
    Click the **pie-chart icon** in the left navigation bar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a report type">
    Choose a report from the tabs across the top (Orders, Downloads, Encodes, and so on).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Filter">
    Narrow the data with the available filters — **Date, Studios, Projects, Types, Groups, Users, Filetype, Status, Subtitles**. The filters offered depend on the report type.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the date range">
    Reports default to the past 30 days. Use the year/month/day pickers for a custom range.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Export">
    Open the vertical ellipsis (**⋮**) menu and export as **.csv** or **.pdf**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Results update automatically as you change selections. Use **⋮ → View Settings** to choose visible columns, save named **presets** (rename/delete them from the bottom-left), pick a preset from the **View** dropdown, and set rows per page with **Show**.

<Note>
  Custom column views are specific to a report type — a preset saved on one report can't be used on another.

## Group Spending report

The **Group Spending** report tracks spend per group.

* **Date range** defaults to one full month ending today — adjust the calendar as needed.
* Filter by **Studio**, **Project**, **Asset Type**, and **Work Request Status**, and by **group** if you have access to more than one.
* Export from the **⋮** menu as **.CSV** or **.PDF**.

<Info>
  Two studio filters are easy to confuse: **Paramount** covers the major projects released worldwide, while **Paramount-Limited** covers projects released only in specific territories.
