You can subscribe to your reports and charts by scheduling them to be sent out at a pre-defined time, as frequently as required.

 

  1. Open a report or chart.
  2. Tap on the subscription icon in the bottom-right corner.



  3. When the side panel expands, tap on the title field and provide a title for this subscription.



  4. You can also use the next field to provide a description.
  5. Tap on the option to add a condition, if you would like to include one.

    Conditions provide a unique way to set up a schedule, in that the report will only be sent out if the condition(s) become true.

     

    • Create a condition by choosing a field from the report, an operand that applies to this field, and finally entering a value. Then tap on Save. For example, you could select the invoice field, choose the greater than operand and set the value as 5000. So now your condition will become true if the invoice value surpasses the amount of $5000.



  6. Next, choose the format in which to send out the report by tapping on the HTML option and making a selection.



  7. Schedule the frequency with which to repeat this subscription. (E.g: If you subscribe for a weekly report, then select a week day.)
  8. You can also set up advanced scheduling options. Use the Advanced option to view additional scheduling options:
    • Choose a time zone.
    • Select the time at which to send out the report.
    • Then tap on Save.



  9. Once all the details have been added, tap on Save to schedule this subscription.



  10. Note: You will notice that the subscription icon in the report options will have turned blue.

 

You can always return to a subscription to update or delete it.
