Create a scheduled report

You can email a PDF file of selected dashboards to one or more recipients by creating a scheduled report on a Command appliance. When you create a scheduled report, you can specify how often the report is emailed and the time interval for the dashboard data included in the PDF file. Note that you can only create a report for dashboards you own or have shared access to.
