Steps to email a report

Prerequisites

Recipients of your email must have the proper associated software applications installed on their machines. For example, if you email a report as a Microsoft Word document, the recipients must have the Microsoft Word application installed on their machines so they can open the attached Word document. The application required for each file type is described in the links below.

To email a report

1. Click any report to execute it. (For steps to run a report, see Running a report.)

2. From the File menu, point to E-mail report as.

3. Select one of the formats that appear. MicroStrategy Developer converts the report to your chosen format, then opens a new email from Microsoft Outlook, with the converted report attached. See the following links for specific information about each format, and images showing how the file appears for a recipient:

   • Emailing a report in .doc format

   • Emailing a report in .xls format

   • Emailing a report in .mdb format

   • Emailing a report in .txt format

   • Emailing a report in .html format. If you send a report in HTML format, the HTML file appears in the body of the email, rather than being attached to the email.

   • Emailing a report in .pdf format

4. Type a recipient's email address in the To field, add a message if you wish, and click Send to send the email.
