      Hello all!

      I get these awesome emails from google about a specific site. But I am not sure how, and why. But I like the data it generates. I am uploading a screen shot. They are called Analytics' Snapshot.

      My question is basically: How to setup google analytics snapshot to report on a specific website in my account? Because I have several I track - Over 40 domains, but I am mostly concered with like 4 -5 of them, I would like to report on.

      Thanks Mozers!!

        I, also, would like these reports for all my clients, however I can't seem to set it up for more than one account, when we have like 30 in our Analytics. I know how to create and schedule custom reports in analytics itself - the OP's Snapshot picture is completely different than that. The Analytics Web Performance Report (formerly Snapshot) seems to be a 'Google thang'.

        In Analytics, click the gear icon and go to "user settings". There, you can set your communications settings. To receive this report,  tick the radio button to receive "Performance Suggestions and Updates". If you attempt to navigate to any other account within analytics, you can't access "user settings" for that account - only for your parent gmail account.

        So far, the only way I see to set this up is to set up each client with their own gmail account, add that to the parent analytics account, and set each client's new analytics communications settings individually within their account using the "user settings' under the gear icon.

        Has anyone found a better solution?

          I've never seen these and I"m guessing that it's purpose is to try to get people to log back in to GA.

          You can set up custom dashboards with these metrics and schedule them to send out automatically on the first of each month to you or the client. You have to restart the emails every 6 or 12 months I think, but otherwise it's pretty hassle free.

            Understand, I am not sure if some Excel wizardry would help you but it may. Have a nice day and good luck!

              Actually, that's kind of close, but, I m looking for the attached image - Where it shows multiple fields of data. The way your description is only an attachment, of the current screen you are on.

              Thank you for trying to help me!!

                I am not sure if you have went to a report and clicked the "Email" link you can set it up so you get that snapshot data emailed to you.
