Reporting

Why am I only getting incremental data in my scheduled report?

I have a scheduled report my-scheduled-report that runs once every morning, and is supposed to get data for the last 7 days. I then have a dashboard that includes my-scheduled-report as a base search via

<search ref="my-scheduled-report" id="base_search"></search>

I then use that in all the panels in my dashboard via panels like:

<panel>
  <title>Unique Users Per Day</title>
  <chart>
    <search base="base_search">
      <query>timechart span=1d dc(userId)</query>
    </search>
    <options ... >
  </chart>
</panel>

My problem is that I only see the previous day's data in my dashboard, not the full week's. It's as if I only get incremental data from the previous scheduled report.

I think I solved my issue, which had nothing to do with scheduled reports or base searches. My scheduled report has joins and it appears they are getting truncated to 50,000 records. Would be helpful to have an error message somewhere!
