Default Reports

MainWP Client Reports Extension comes with three default Reports:
  • Default Basic Report - Clean report without custom style that provides basic info about performed actions on child site.
  • Default Full Report - Clean report without custom style that provides full info about performed actions on child site.
  • MainWP Client Report - Custom designed report that provides the most useful information about performed actions on the child site.
If any of these reports are sufficient for your needs, do the following to set them in use:
  1. Locate the wanted report
