How to Setup Manager Reporting

Manager Reporting lets you automatically email managers a scheduled report in excel format that shows their team’s Phishing Simulation and/or Security Awareness Training statistics. This helps managers track progress, follow up with their team, and supports a stronger security culture with less manual work for system admins.

Prerequisite: Add Manager Information to Target Users

Before scheduling manager reports, ensure each target user has a manager assigned.

  • Go to Company > Target Users

  • Create or Edit a target user

  • Fill the required manager fields:

    • Manager First Name (Required)

    • Manager Last Name (Required)

    • Manager Email (Required)

Optional: Sync manager info via SCIM (Entra ID)

If you want to automatically sync Manager data (first name, last name, email address) via SCIM for your target users, follow this guide.

Step 1: Create an Executive Report with Manager Metrics

You create an Executive Report first, then schedule it.

  • Go to Reports > Executive Reports

  • Click + NEW

  • Expand Manager Metrics

  • Choose one of the following (one manager metric per executive report):

    • Phishing Activity (for simulation statistics)

    • Training Activity (for training statistics)

  • Customize the report:

    • Executive Report Name

    • Date Range

    • Date Created, Company Name

  • Click Save Report.

Step 2: Schedule the Report to Send to Managers

After the Executive Report is saved, schedule it for delivery.

  • Go to Reports > Scheduled Reports

  • Click + NEW

  • Fill the schedule settings:

    • Schedule Name

    • Frequency (One Time, Weekly, Every two weeks, Monthly, Quarterly)

    • Report Type: Executive Report

    • Report: Select your Manager Executive Report

    • Schedule Time and Timezone

    • (Optional) Enable Region-Aware Time Zone Delivery

  • In Send to Manager:

    • Select the managers who will receive the report

  • Click Save.

After saving:

  • Managers receive the first email shortly after (then continue based on the selected frequency).

  • Each manager’s report reflects their team members, based on the Manager fields you set under Target Users.

A: Check these common items:
