- By default, all the charts and reports retrieve the email client usage data for the past 30 days. Use the calendar icon in the top right corner of the page to get data for the past 7, 30, 90, or 180 days based on your preference.
- To download each visual insight as a CSV file, use the Export option available along with each chart.
