Notifications
Notifications send scheduled email messages with an attachment that contains a single report or a single dashboard. Each notification includes a snapshot of the report that the program generates when the notification runs.
Notifications can be viewed separately in Designer, Visualizer, and Dashboard.
To learn more about creating a notification, see Notifications overview.
