Schedule Reports

An additional feature to Reports is to be able to schedule them at set intervals so as to get alerts over email and also enable downloading them all for business use. With Scheduled Reports feature on Scalefusion Dashboard, admins can create a schedule for a report, receive it over email, download them as CSV and also perform other actions.

Let us learn in the document how all this can be achieved.
