Email Reports Overview
In the previous sections, we discussed creating new data sources and new report definitions. Email Reports are different from report definitions, because they are not linked to a data source, they are linked to a report definition, which is in turn linked to a data source.
In fact, Email Reports can be linked to multiple report definitions. As their name indicates, they are delivered via email to one or more recipients (rather than generated "on-the-fly"). Email Reports enable users to have the TMS System automatically generate and email-out specified Reports to specified users at specified intervals.
In the topics that follow, we will discuss the Email Reports standard form, and we will give you a walkthrough on how to create a new Email Report. Select one of the links below to proceed.
Email reports will not work in conjunction with the dynamic values functionality in either saved queries or the Data Sources module. If an email report contains a data source with a saved query or filter field with dynamic values attached to it, the email report will not send the correct data.
