Manage report destinations

Users that have the Marketplace Manager role can define destinations where reports are uploaded after they are generated.

• This setting is disabled by default on all marketplaces.
• The following file transfer methods are currently supported:
  • Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).
  • Amazon Simple Storage (S3)

Caution

If you previously configured SFTP as a report destination and want to add S3, your SFTP server needs to be reconfigured. Contact your AppDirect technical representative to have this done. If you plan to use only S3, you can skip that step.

After you configure this setting, users who have the Marketplace Manager or Network Manager roles have the option to add a report destination under Advanced settings on the Create Reports page. They can add multiple destinations.

For more information, see Create standard reports and Create customized reports.

This setting is managed on the Report Destinations page, where you can add, edit, and delete report destinations.

📝 Note: If the AppDirect logo appears in the upper-left corner of the page, when Manage > Marketplace appears in this topic, click the grid icon > Switch to | Store, instead.
