# What reports does Pickcel offer?

> Pickcel offers media playback (Proof of Play), screen uptime, and audit log reports. See what each report shows and how to generate and download them.

Pickcel gives you **Proof of Play** and activity reporting out of the box. The **Reports** module in the [Pickcel console](https://console.pickcel.com) is a hub grouped into **Content Reports** and **Screen & Operations**. From here you can see how often your media played, how long your screens were displaying content, and what actions users took in your account. Reports can be generated for a specific day, month, or custom date range, and downloaded as a **.csv** file.

## Types of reports

| Report             | Category            | What it shows                                                                                                        |
| :----------------- | :------------------ | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Media playback** | Content Reports     | How many times each media file (images, videos, apps, PDFs) was played and the duration of each, your Proof of Play. |
| **Screen uptime**  | Screen & Operations | How long each screen was online and actively displaying content.                                                     |
| **Audit logs**     | Screen & Operations | Activities performed by users in your console: sign-ins, schedule changes, composition updates, and more.            |

<Note>
  If you use the **Campaign app**, a **Campaign Report** also appears as a Proof of Play for campaign content, broken down by campaign, media, composition, and screen. It only shows up once you have created campaigns.

## Generating a report

Open the **Reports** module and click **View reports** on the report you want.

* **Media playback** opens a list of saved reports. Click **Generate Report**, choose the media files, pick a month or custom range, and generate. Each report is added to the list to review and download.
* **Screen uptime** and **Audit logs** open straight to a period picker. Choose **Daily**, **Monthly**, or **Custom**, then click **Continue** to see the results on screen.

Once a report is generated you can review it on screen and download it as a **.csv** file for your records.

<Note>
  Pickcel focuses on playback and activity reporting (Proof of Play, uptime, and audit logs) rather than broader audience analytics. For each report's exact steps, see the detailed guides below.
