Accessing Report Settings

1. Navigate to the SEV or SOV page.
2. Select Report Settings.
3. If Google Sheets authorization has not been completed, an authorization prompt is displayed.
4. Complete the authorization process.
5. Return to the SEV or SOV page and select Report Settings again.
6. Select Add Setting to create a new report configuration.

Authorization

Google Sheets authorization is required before creating report settings.

Authorization Prompt

When Report Settings is opened, the system checks whether Google Sheets authorization has been configured.

If authorization is not available, the following message is displayed:

You are not authorized

The popup provides a direct link to the API Center to complete the authorization process.

Google Sheets Authorization Process

Step 1: Open API Center

Select the API Center link from the authorization popup.

Step 2: Select Google Sheets

Within the API Center, select the Google Sheets integration.

Step 3: Start Authorization

The integration status is displayed as Unauthorized.

Select Authorize to begin the authorization process.

Step 4: Complete Google Authorization

Follow the Google authorization workflow:

• Select the required Google account
• Review requested permissions
• Grant access
• Save the authorization configuration

Step 5: Authorization Success

After successful authorization:

Primary Email Address

Displays the Google account currently used to authorize the Google Sheets integration.

This email address identifies the account that FlightDeck uses to access and generate reports within Google Sheets.

If a different Google account needs to be used, update the Google Sheets authorization using the desired account.

Confirmation Message

A confirmation message is displayed:

Google Sheet saved successfully

Status

The integration status changes to:

Authorized and Active

This indicates that the Google Sheets authorization has been completed successfully and the integration is ready for report generation.

This confirms that Google Sheets is connected and ready for report generation.

Google Sheet Usage

Google Sheets is used in two independent areas within the platform.

Important:

• Authorizing Google Sheets does not automatically configure a report destination.
• Each report setting can use a different Google Sheet ID.
• Report destination sheets are managed independently from API authorization.
