Schedule a Report or Document to be Sent to a Mobile Device

You can have a report or document automatically sent to your mobile device based on a schedule or event. To do so, you must subscribe to the report or document, as described in the steps below.

You can ensure that you are notified when a report meets specific threshold conditions. For example, you can have an notification sent to your mobile device when the units sold data in a report falls under 500 units. You automatically receive a message when this threshold is met.

You can also have reports delivered to your mobile device automatically based on an alert condition that appears in a different report. For example, if your company-wide Monthly Revenue report is run on a schedule and displays revenue in the Northeast region below $1,000,000, the Sales Report for the Northeast Region can be automatically emailed to you based on the $1,000,000 threshold that is part of the company-wide Monthly Revenue report. For steps to email a report or document when threshold conditions are met, see the Formatting a Report chapter in the Basic Reporting Help.
