GAT+ as a tool has the potential to create hundreds of different reports for every section of your Google Workspace environment.
By default when GAT+ is deployed an Activity Report is being generated and sent to the Super Admins.
GAT Activity Report #
The Activity Report is sent by default to all admins once per week. The recipients will receive a weekly email called GAT Activity Report.
