Accessing reports from report notifications
Report notifications always include a URL to the report, or a file attachment (if configured in the report schedule). Once you receive a report notification, you can either preview the report in the Report viewer, or download the report in .xslx, .pdf,.doc, or .xml format for viewing and manipulation in third-party tools, such as Excel, Word, and Adobe Acrobat Reader.
- To preview a report in the Report viewer, click [Preview]
