E-Mail Settings for Report
On this form you can select an Existing Email or you can enter other Emails.
If you want to select an Existing Email you will find all the email addresses in the dropdown for “Select Existing Emails”. You can then search by name, or type to find the email address.
Once you select Email addresses, you will see them fill the Mailing list below. You can then make changes to the Format you want this person to receive. You can send the report in .pdf, .jpeg, .rtf, .xls, .xlsx, .csv, .tnt, and .png formats. You can send a user multiple formats by adding them to the list multiple times. In the mailing list you can also manually add your own contacts.
Manually Add Email Contacts
To manually add contacts to a report, just type in the mailing list grid.
Once you have all the people you want to send the report to and their formats, you can select your send options to either send this report after you review it or send this report once it is generated.
If you selected “Send this report when it is generated”, all you have to do is make sure your parameters are set, dates are set, and run the report. The report will then be Emailed out to all the people on your mailing list in the respective formats.
If you selected “I will send this report after I review it”, follow the following instructions.
Set your dates, set your parameters and generate the report as usual. Once the report is done running, open the report, review the data. If all is ready to be sent off, you will then:
Select E-documents at the very top of the report viewer and click Send. This will email the report to all Emails in the mailing list in their respective formats.
You can also review or edit your mailing list from here by selecting Email Settings.
The ability to Export to Email is still available as well.
It is important to note that you make sure you assign Email addresses with care. You do not want to accidentally set up an Email address in a report parameter that someone is not supposed to receive.
