Email Reports
You can generate email reports for any Saved Exploration or Dashboard in Hashboard.
How to send an email report
- Go to the Saved Exploration or Dashboard you want to share.
- Click the Share button on the top right.
- Pick Email from the dropdown.
When sending an email report:
- Specify a Subject of the report.
- Add the Email Addresses you want to send to. You can email a report to up to 25 recipients.
- Write an optional Message if you want. This will be included in the body of the email.
Options
For Saved Explorations, you have a couple of extra options for what to include in the email:
- Chart image: This puts a picture of the chart in the email.
- Chart data: This attaches the aggregated data used to make the chart as a
.csv
file. - Underlying data: This attaches the non-aggregated data as a
.csv
file. You the attached file is limited to the first 100,000 rows of data.
For Dashboards, the email always includes a full-length image of the dashboard.
Chart image file type
When including a chart image, email reports can be sent as either a PNG or PDF file, configured with the "Chart image file type" dropdown.
Scheduling email reports
You can configure recurring email reports to be generated on a schedule by selecting Schedule recurring report at the bottom of the Share as Email form and then clicking Set Schedule.
On the next page, you can configure your report schedule:
- Choose when you want the report sent:
- Daily
- Weekly
- Monthly
- Pick the time you want it sent at (all times are in Eastern Time).
What happens when reports fail
If there's a problem and data doesn't load:
- The email report won't be sent.
- An alert email is sent to the person who set up the report, letting them know there was a problem.
Managing scheduled email reports
To change or delete a scheduled report, click "More" in the the sidebar and then Scheduled reports (opens in a new tab).
From there, you can edit or delete the reports you've scheduled.
