You have the option to directly download reports, send them to an email address, or send them to an SFTP droppoint. Learn how to explore and customize reports ## SFTP Best Practices If you are using a client-side or third-party SFTP droppoint to receive reports, Kibo recommends following the below guidelines to maximize performance. * Ensuring access to the SFTP droppoint is the responsibility of the client or third party maintainer. Make sure that Kibo's SFTP user has read and write permissions to the directory, which is required to deliver files. * For example, in the command line this may look like `drw-rw-r--` (which means the owner has read/write, the group has read/write, others are read-only) * Ensure files do not pile up over time. Utilize /archive folders and periodic cleanup of historic data. Monitor the droppoint and clean up files that are no longer needed. * If you need to retain the files, archive them to another folder once they’ve been processed. * Ensure disk space usage is monitored and alerts the maintaining IT team in time to address low disk space situations before causing connection issues for Kibo. ## Create From Existing Report A Report Editor user can create custom reports by editing an existing report. 1.
