To share important information with your colleagues, you can schedule reports to be sent to a group of users. When you schedule a report, you can customize the cadence and frequency at which you want to send reports.
To create a new Scheduled Report:
-

You can also create a Scheduled Report from Settings > Scheduled Reports > +Add a Scheduled Report.
-
On the report, select More Actions or the more actions menu (...) (depending on the report) and select Schedule Emailed Report.

Enter the Report Name to help you and others easily identify the scheduled report when it's received. Your chosen name will appear as the subject of the email in your inbox.

You can also choose from a variety of reports found in the dashboard as well as certain reports offered exclusively as scheduled reports. For more information about the reports available to schedule, see Scheduled Report Types B.
-
Choose your preferred Report Format: comma-separated values (CVS) or XLS.

Apply any relevant Tags for which you want to restrict the report.
If no tag is selected, the report will contain data across your entire organization. This data will be presented to all recipients, regardless of their role or access privileges.

From the Send Alert To field, select the recipients to whom you want send this report.
You can select one or more Alert Contacts. If you don't see recipient you want to add, click Manage to add a new contact.
