Is it possible to automatically email a report

Question

I would like to create a report that automatically gets emailed to a list of people each day.  Is this possible? I only seem able to be able to print reports from both the web site and the report writer.

I then have to email this report. It would be nice to automate this process and have a daily report of each days network events emailed at the end of the day.

Download the Report Scheduler

The Report Scheduler lets you schedule reports to be e-mailed or printed on a regular basis.

You must have a current maintenance aggreement in order to access the above resource

We are currently doing something similar while waiting for SolarWinds to address the issue.  Although I don't have to send the e-mail everyday, I do send out monthly availability reports manually.  I am trying to get around to writing a VBscript to throw into Windows Scheduler so that we can automate this process.  Sounds like this would work for you too...just a thought.

Thanks bashley,

I'll download report scheduler and check it out.

In the mean time, I came up with the idea of creating the custom report I need and embedding a link to it in an email. Then using the Direct link account on the SW website the email recipients can simply click and view the report. This actually works very well as the resulting report is neither embedded in the email or attached to it so the message size is nice and small and I do not have to set up website accounts for each person or group that needs to see the report. The only downside is I still have to actually send the email each morning.
