How long of a reporting period does the SMS Dashboard cover?

The SMS Dashboard typically covers a reporting period of 14 days. This timeframe is designed to provide users with an adequate span of data that reflects recent SMS activity, allowing for an analysis of trends, patterns, and potential issues that may arise. A 14-day reporting window is generally considered a balanced duration that enables timely insight without overwhelming the user with excessive data from a longer period, such as 30 days. This ensures that the analysis remains relevant to current circumstances and aids in making informed decisions regarding email security and management.

In this context, a reporting period that is shorter, like 7 days, might not provide enough data for identifying less frequent but significant trends. Conversely, an indefinite reporting period could lead to information overload, where extracting actionable insights becomes increasingly difficult. Therefore, the 14-day reporting period strikes an effective balance for monitoring and evaluating SMS performance.
