Reporting data availability and warning logs
Check reporting data availability and inspect unresolved reporting warnings with Developer access.
What it is
Report Logs lists unresolved reporting configuration warnings. Developers can use it alongside the data-availability information in Reports to investigate missing or inconsistent figures. Administrators can collect the affected report, period and filters for Powerfront to check.
Who uses it and why
- Developers with the Developer role inspect reporting warnings and acknowledge resolved issues.
- Administrators check the selected reporting period and ask Powerfront to investigate setup or refresh problems.
Where to find it
Open Reports to read data-availability information for the selected website.
With Developer access, open Inside Dev Console, then Tools › Logs › Report Logs. Reporting enablement is managed by Powerfront at Settings › General Settings › Admin.
How it works
- In Reports, select the correct website and read the available data period beside the report heading.
- Check that the period you are investigating falls within that coverage. A message that no data is available means the workspace has no usable availability range for that selection.
- With Developer access, open Report Logs and inspect the warning time, type and message.
- Investigate the cause with Powerfront. Only after it has been addressed, select Mark as Resolved to remove the warning from the unresolved list.
The listed warning types include Time Zone Mismatch, Sales Attribution Mismatch, Advanced Reports Disabled and Incorrect Default Database. Powerfront can investigate the reporting setup behind these warnings.
Marking a warning as resolved acknowledges the log entry. It does not repair configuration or refresh missing data.
Configure it
Powerfront can enable reporting and check its setup for your website. Someone with the Settings or Manager role can check your Reports and Developer roles at Settings › Account › Operators, according to the tasks you perform.
Report dates, website time-zone settings and sales attribution can affect comparisons. Include those details when asking Powerfront to investigate a discrepancy.

Limits and good to know
- Historical reporting can lag live activity. The displayed availability range is a coverage indicator, rather than a guarantee that every recent record is complete.
- Report Logs shows unresolved warnings, not all past warnings or every possible refresh failure.
- An empty warning list does not establish that reporting is fully up to date.
- Reporting warnings are separate from operator action history and conversation audit search.
- Older and current report versions can use different filters and calculations. Compare the report name, period, scope and definitions before treating a difference as a fault.

FAQ and troubleshooting
Why are today's reports behind live activity?
Historical reports depend on refreshed reporting data. Check the displayed availability period and ask Powerfront to investigate if it has stopped advancing.
Why can I not open Report Logs with the Reports role?
The diagnostic view requires Developer access. The Reports role grants the reporting workspace, rather than its developer diagnostics.
Does Mark as Resolved fix the report?
No. It acknowledges the warning. Address the cause before marking the entry resolved.
Why are figures different in an older report?
First align the dates, time zones, scope and metric definitions. Older and current reports are not guaranteed to calculate every measure in the same way.
What should I send Powerfront about a discrepancy?
Provide the website, report name, date range, selected filters, displayed data availability and relevant warning type. Include the expected result and the result you received.
