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

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?

We did resolve this and it was really simple, go to:


  • Reports\Scheduled Reports.
  • open the scheduled report already created and blank out the report field so it does not run anything.
  • I plugged the link to the report in the Introductory Message field
  • and saved that.

It does not run the report, it only emails the link to the report and when I receive the email there is no attachment just the link in the email body.     I click the link and it runs and displays the report.     The report is a display only which is the only drawback.     I was hoping for something I could click on to drill in but this is really nice.     I also tested to verify that it is real-time.     After I received the email I made a change that would show up on the report, then went back to the earlier email and clicked the link again.     The change was reflected in the resulting displayed report.
