Build and edit a Balance history report
Run a balance history report to get an overview of your finances and what your balance is. Keep track of your spending and where you allocate that spending.
Note
Reports are only stored for 90 days. Download the report locally to keep it.
Building your report can take more than an hour depending on its size. The report continues to build if you leave the page or log out of CertCentral. You receive an email notification once it’s available.
Build a Balance history report
In your CertCentral account’s sidebar menu, click Reports > Build a report.
Select Balance history from the reports category list and click Next.
From the Specify date range dropdown, select the time frame you want your report to cover.
Note
When choosing the Custom date option, use the arrows to navigate the months and years you want to include. Then select the days you want included.
In the Choose sources section, you can also choose what subaccounts to include or exclude. Click Next.
Choose the columns to include in your report. For a Balance history report, there are three categories of information: Order and account information, Transaction information, and Subaccount information.
Order and account information includes details such as the division or container name, account ID, order ID, and others.
Transaction information includes details such as the transaction type, account currency, balance expiration date, and others.
Subaccount information includes sub-accounts’ account ID, division or container ID, and others.
To add or remove columns from your report, toggle each check box for the information you want to include. Otherwise, click Select all to include all categories.
Set column order shows the order that the columns will be listed in your report. If you want to reorder your columns, drag and drop them to your preferred placement. You can also click Order alphabetically to alphabetize them.
Once you have selected your report criteria, click Next.
Now schedule how you want to run your report:
By default, Once is selected. This does not set a schedule, but you can manually run it again when you need to do so, from the main Report library page.
To set a schedule, choose a Weekly or Monthly schedule. Set the day of the week and when you want the last report to run. With this setting, your report does not run immediately, only on the day selected.
In Notify additional users, add other administrators you want to notify when the report is ready for download.
Choose your report's file format, then enter a Report name.
When you are finished, click Build report.
Once your report is available, its status changes from Generating to Ready.
