How to Run Full-Service Reports

Overview

Generate Full-Service Reports in Faculty Success to view reports created or leveraged by your institution in collaboration with Watermark. These reports are identified by "Watermark" in the Created By column within the reports list. Use these reports to retrieve specific activity data based on defined date ranges and file formats.
