# Save Reports and Schedule Delivery

Many of Verkada’s Access Control users often log in to Verkada Command and run the same report on a monthly, weekly, or (sometimes) daily basis. Some of these reports have very specific filters that are acceptable to set on on- off queries, but can be frustrating to log in and set on a reoccurring basis.

## Create and schedule report filters

To solve this problem, Verkada has a *Scheduled Report* feature. Access Admins can create report filters in the **Access Control** homepage > **Report** tab, and then save these filters as a *saved report*.

### Benefits

* An admin can return and easily re-run the report without having to reset the filters.
* These saved reports can be turned into comma-separated value (CSV) files and be automatically emailed to a specified list of recipients.
* These emails can be scheduled daily, weekly, or monthly.

### How it works

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**On the&#x20;*****Save Report*****&#x20;dialog, type a Report Name (required) and a description (optional), and click Save. Both can be edited after the creation of the saved report.**

Once the report is saved, the reports page loads. The left pane contains some metadata attached to the saved report. The right pane is the report itself.\

## Duplicate an existing report

To make slight changes to an existing report, but keep existing filters (**not the schedule**), you can easily duplicate the filters.

To do so, at the top right, click the ellipsis (…) icon and select **Duplicate**.
