Via Chat

Ask Muin to generate reports conversationally:

"Generate a cash flow report for Q4"
"Show me vendor spend by department for the last 6 months"
"Run a compliance check for all vendors"

AI generates the report and provides a summary with download links.

Scheduling Recurring Reports

  1. Navigate to Reports —> Schedules
  2. Click Create Schedule
  3. Select the report type and configure parameters
  4. Choose frequency: daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly
  5. Set delivery method: email to recipients, save to report library, or both
  6. Click Save Schedule

Scheduled reports generate automatically and appear in your Report Library.

Tips

  • Use comparison periods — reports with previous-period comparison provide context that makes data actionable. A $10,000 spend number means more when you know it is up 15% from last month.
  • Schedule recurring reports — set up weekly or monthly reports for metrics you review regularly. Consistency builds habits and ensures stakeholders always have current data.
  • Start with templates — built-in report types cover the most common needs. Use the Custom option only when you need a specific data combination not covered by templates.
  • Export for stakeholders — PDF exports include your branding and are ready for board meetings or donor reports. Excel exports are pivot-ready for deeper analysis.
