E-mail a Report

You can e-mail a link to a report to someone. If the recipient opens the e-mail message on a PC or Mac with a Flash-enabled viewer, and then clicks the e-mail link, then the report is displayed in the viewer. If the recipient opens the e-mail message on a mobile device, and then clicks the e-mail link, then the report is displayed using the SAS Mobile BI app if the user has it installed.

Tip

Use the Order the actions associated with a content type preference for the SAS Visual Analytics home page to specify which application opens the report when you click on an e-mail link.

To e-mail a report from the designer:

Select File E-mail. The E-mail window is displayed. The designer automatically adds your e-mail address to the From field. The URL for the report is automatically generated, and a preview appears in the e-mail message.
Enter the recipient’s e-mail address.

Alternatively, click the To label. The Add Recipients window is displayed. Select one or more names. Click OK to return to the E-mail window.

Note: You can select a maximum of 100 e-mail recipients in the Add Recipients window.

Note: A user’s e-mail address must be stored in metadata to be displayed on the View All tab in the Add Recipients window.

Tip
Position your mouse pointer over the To field to see all of the recipients.
