Scheduling Reports
The Scheduled Reports feature enables you to email IoT reports to selected recipients on a specified date and time, either once or on a recurring basis. These reports are sent as email attachments, providing a robust method for keeping stakeholders informed. Automating report delivery ensures timely and consistent communication of essential data.
For example, let us consider the scenario where you want to send a Weekly Energy Consumption report to the supervisors in your IoT setup every Friday at 7.00 PM. First, you need to create the weekly report using the various report options. Later, using the Scheduled Reports feature you can automatically email the generated Weekly Energy Consumption report to the desired recipients every Friday evening at 7.00 PM. Thus, configuring scheduled reports in your IoT setup enhances overall efficiency and data accessibility.
All report operations require necessary permissions. Refer to the Users and Profile document for more details.
