Sharing and Scheduling Reports
The Reports tab in Zoho Social consists of various metrics and statistics that convey information about a business' social media channels. The sharing of reports to the various people involved in social media, such as social media managers and social media analysts, plays a huge role in enabling better and more accurate decision-making. With the availability of these indicators, communication among stakeholders is much easier and data points help to drive better social reach.
Cards and specific network reports, or the entire Reports section can be exported as different file formats like PNG, PDF, or CSV files on Zoho Social.

Each file consists of data specific to the network, gathered over a period of time. The network-based CSV files are listed below:
