Sending a Report by E-mail
You can send by e-mail an attached report in PDF, XML or Microsoft Excel format. If you want to
send reports by e-mail on a regular basis, set up an e-mail schedule for the report, as described in
”Adding an E-mail Schedule for a Report” on page 493.
Keep in mind the following:
• Before you can e-mail a report, you must set up e-mail notification, as described in the topic,
”Setting Up E-mail Notification” on page 188.
• The elements in the report you send are based on your organizations and which organizations
are selected in the organization filter at the top of the page.
• Send your reports soon after a report cache refresh. The reports display data that is in the report
cache. If the report cache contains old data, the reports you send by e-mail will also show old
data. The reports are refreshed every six hours by default. See ”Scheduling a Report Cache
Refresh” on page 220.
To send a report by e-mail:
1. Access Reporting as described in ”Accessing Reporting” on page 488.
2. Expand the tree in the middle pane, and click the report you want to send by e-mail.
3. Click the E-mail Report button.
You are told the E-mail server is not enabled if you have not set up e-mail notification. You must

Notification” on page 188.
