Running a report generates a PDF for each stated portfolio for a given time period. Use the Report Generation API to run reports from outside of Addepar, publish reports to the Client Portal, and notify clients when their report is available.

You can get report ID via the Report List API. After you run a report, you can access a portfolio's report PDF from its Generated PDFs tab in Addepar, or via the Generated Reports API.
