```{admonition} Reporting feature in Dashboard
:class: tip
At the moment reports have to be compiled by some administrator. In the future Dashboard will
provide a glamorous [button to generate reports](https://gitlab.servus.at/aura/aura/-/issues/178).

## Schedule reporting

At the moment not native reporting capability is provided. Individual radio station have their own
database query script to generate reports. In the future we will provide basic and advanced
reporting mechanisms.

### Play-out reporting

To generate playlog reports you can use the [`playlog` endpoint](https://api.aura.radio/engine/#/internal/list_playlog)
of Engine API. These reports have to be manually generated and aggregated for now.

Learn how playlogs are structured in the API Schema for [`PlayLog`](https://api.aura.radio/engine/).
