Heads Up! Redundant information to be removed from email reports
This post is to inform you in advance about an update on email reports, which will be made effective in about a week's time from today.
The Email Modified By and Email Modified Time columns will no longer be available for Email Reports as emails that have already been sent cannot be modified.
When this update has been made, you will stop seeing Email Modified By and Email Modified Time in the Email reports. Also, across email reports, be it during creation of new reports, or columns in existing reports,
If Email Modified By and Email Modified Time turn out to be the only columns with which you have already created a report, these columns will be replaced with Email Sent By and Email Sent On respectively, as the values are the same.
The important thing to note here is that there is no “data loss” for you because of the removal of these columns. It’s as simple as removing a word that has been repeated twice, from a paragraph. You can continue to create Email reports without any hassles.
