+### Via the CLI
+
+Scripts can be run on the CLI by invoking the management command:
+
+```
+python3 manage.py runscript [--commit] [--loglevel {debug,info,warning,error,critical}] --script <module>.<script> <data>
+```
+
+The required ``--script <module>.<script>`` argument is the report to run where ``<module>`` is the name of the python file in the ``scripts`` directory without the ``.py`` extension and ``<script>`` is the name of the script class in the ``<module>`` to run.
+
+The optional ``--loglevel`` argument is the desired logging level to output to the console.
+
+The optional ``--commit`` argument will commit any changes in the script to the database.
+
