If you have scheduled a report using our new data and analytics platform, you'll have seen that you can select an SFTP server to which to save the schedule. (See Scheduling a Report Using the New Platform for details on how to create a schedule using the new reporting system.) This requires that you set up your SFTP server first. You can do so as follows:

Note: You also can use the SFTP server to house larger reports.


Your user role must have rights to edit groups in order to add an SFTP server.

  1. On the sidebar menu on the left, click .
     
  2. Click Groups on the flyout menu that appears.
     
    The Admin - Groups screen will appear.
       
  3. If the group in which you want to set up the SFTP server is further down the hierarchy of subgroups of the group you have selected in the Group Chooser, make sure that View Subgroups is selected at the top of the screen. (If this is not selected, just its immediate child groups will be displayed.)
    Note: The group needs to have already been created, as the SFTP server configuration can be performed only in the Edit Group dialog box, NOT in the Add Group dialog box.
  4. Scroll down to the group or filter the Group Name column to find it. (See Sorting and Filtering Column Data if needed.)
     
  5. In the row of the group, click  at the far right.
      
  6. Click Edit Group.
     
    The Edit Group dialog box will appear.
     
  7. Scroll down to the SFTP Server section.
      
  8. Type the name of the server in the Server Name field.
     
  9. Type the hostname in the Server Host field.
     
  10. In the Server Port field, enter the number of the server port.
     
  11. Type the required user credentials in the Username and Password fields.
     
  12. Provide the server key in the Server RSA Private Key field.
     
    Cancel and Save buttons will appear when you enter data in the SFTP Server fields.
      
  13. After you have verified the server information, click Save.
     
    A success message will be briefly displayed.
     
  14. Click Done.
     
  15. Going forward, you will be able to select the server you added when you are scheduling one of the new reports (via the Select Server drop-down list).
     
    Note: Again, go to Scheduling a Report Using the New Platform to see how to add a new report schedule.
