📊 What is the “Time Spent by Time Period” Report?

This is a custom report prepared by our data analyst team that shows how much time users have spent on training during a selected time frame.

Unlike other reports in your SkillCat dashboard, this report is not automatically generated within the app.


⏱️ How Long Does It Take?

  • The report is created manually by our data analyst.

  • You can expect to receive it within 24–48 business hours after requesting it.

  • Once ready, it will be emailed directly to you at the address used in the request.


📧 How Will I Receive It?

  • The report is emailed directly to your inbox once it’s completed.

  • No action is required on your end after submitting the request


⚠️ Important Notes & Limitations

Since this is a manually generated report, keep in mind:

  • Data may not reflect 100% of usage, as some activities are not tracked, including:

    • Training accessed through the web (desktop browser)

    • The OSHA-10 course (a web-based course)

    • Heavy activity in the Tools tab (not calculated in time spent)

  • Some data is calculated manually, which means small discrepancies are possible.

  • For this reason, we recommend using this report for general insights rather than exact numbers.


✅ Other Reports

For most other reports, you do not need to wait — they can be viewed and downloaded immediately in your SkillCat dashboard.


📌 Summary

  • The Time Spent by Time Period report is created manually by our data analyst.

  • You’ll receive it by email within 24–48 business hours.

  • Reported data may differ slightly due to untracked activities and manual calculations.

  • All other reports are available instantly from the dashboard.
