Reports How to Schedule without having an attachment sent out? I can't keep the type blank and only email the link?

[cpratts]

I am trying to run reports without attaching the PDF.   I just want to copy the link into the scheduled task, but the report schedule defaults to a type and it will not allow a blank?

Currently there is no way to send a link. You might want to consider using the Publish feature to generate a link and then send that as a scheduled notification.

The point behind sending the report as an attachment rather than a link is that it is a snapshot in time. Sending someone "Incident priorities for the last 30 days" would be 30 days from the time it was sent, not from the time someone decides to open their email and look at it via a link. We all know someone who has thousands of unread email in their inbox, right?

If you feel it makes sense to send an email link and don't want to construct your own link to a published report and scheduled job to trigger that report periodically,

what is a scheduled notification?

[Chuck Tomasi]

A notification triggered from a scheduled job. You can run a scheduled job, nightly for example, and have trigger the notification using an event.

In the scheduled job would be a line something like:

gs.eventQueue('your_event_name', GlideRecord, parm1, parm2);

Now you create a notification that 'reacts' to that event and sends you link to whomever you desire.
