Through the Report Subscriptions Management page, your administrative team has more control over who has access to your data by directly managing report subscription records. Report subscriptions will run a selected report and send it to the desired recipient(s). Admin users can set the report to run daily, weekly, or monthly to either system or non-system users who have a valid email address.
All saved report subscriptions will be listed on the Subscriptions page. This page lists all subscription details, including the status, name, report, and recipients of each report subscription, and allows the user to filter the listing for a desired subscription.
