Scheduling Reports
Built-in and custom reports can be scheduled to run on a set interval for a specified period of time. Filters can be applied to the scheduled report. The report can be sent as a link or a separate file. Depending on the report, it can be sent as a PDF, XLS or CSV file. A report can be sent to individual Kahua contacts, Kahua groups, or outside email addresses.
For information on building reports with the report wizard, refer to Creating ad hoc reports.
