[Bug] Wrong range shown in e-mail reports

JVC-MSF commented 3 days ago

What happened?

I have define a Personal e-mail report to be sent daily.

When I receive it in the morning, the range show the right range.

But when I click in the "Send report now" link, I receive the report with the right data, but in the range it has only today date.

What should happen?

I expect to have the right range shown in the report, even if I ask for having it sent manually.

How can this be reproduced?

When in the dashboard
Click on Administration (the wheel in the top right corner)
Click on Personal (in the left menu)
Click on Email Reports
Click in the Send report now link in any report you have defined there
Check the received e-mail, the range attribute will show today's date

Hey @JVC-MSF,

This is expected behavior. The Send report now button will trigger to send the report for the date/period that is currently selected in the date picker. The report should also contain the data for that period.

Thanks for the feedback.

I find it counterintuitive, but if this is how it is, nothing to say.

I agree that it might not necessarily be what everyone expects and there already have been a couple of reports around this topic. Improving the UI so it's more clear what to expect from this feature will at some point be handled with https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/issues/19674
