  • Enable Distribution: Check this box to automate the distribution. The report will be sent automatically to the selected users. The frequency will be determined based on the configured email template(i.e.  daily, weekly, monthly or yearly). 

  • Users: Select the users to whom the report should be sent. Users can be either single or multiple. 

  • Send as an Attachment: Enable this checkbox if you want to send the report as an attachment in the email. 

  • Attachment Types: Select the format of the attachment from the available options: Excel.

  • Select Template: Select the email template here. The templates here are defined in the Configure Email module. While configuring the email, the frequency with which it should be sent is also selected and the same is applied here, depending on the template selected. Different templates have different frequencies. To configure an email template for a report, you need to define templates based on specific event types. These event types determine the templates available, which are then displayed on the Distribution screen for selection. 

    For Example: General Reports - Distribution - Report: Used to configure and distribute general reports to selected users or groups. Report - Password - Notification: Sends notifications related to report passwords, ensuring secure access to the distributed reports. If the frequency has not been configured, the frequency field here will not be visible. 

  • Select Password Template: Choose the email template for sharing the password required to access the report attachment.
