Manage CertCapture reports
Reports help you manage all of the documents you collect and store in CertCapture. Do any of your customers have documents that will expire soon? Are you missing customer records? How often are your team members logging into CertCapture? Export reports that answer questions like these, or have CertCapture deliver them to your email on a regular schedule.
After you generate a report and get a list of soon-to-expire exemption certificates, request updated certificates from those customers. If you just want quick information and don't need a full report, try searching for certificates and customers instead.

These instructions are based on Microsoft Outlook. Similar email applications may be used.
- Sign in to Microsoft Outlook or a similar email application.
- Create a new Rule.
- Go to Outlook > Preferences, and click Rules. Rules be found in the ribbon under File or Message depending on your platform.
- Add the following rules, using your exact report name and email recipients in the examples:
