Scheduling Instant Insights email reports

This article explains how to create and configure scheduled email reports in Instant Insights, including selecting a report format, defining reporting periods, configuring delivery schedules, and adding recipients.

Scheduled Instant Insights email reports allow you to automatically share dashboards with internal teams or external stakeholders by email, reducing the need to manually generate and distribute recurring reports. Reports can be delivered as PDF or HTML emails or shared through a live, read-only dashboard. You can also define reporting periods, configure delivery schedules, and manage recipients.
