Manage report email delivery

The Delivery page enables you to control the sending and receiving reports by email. The page has two sections:

Deliveries from others panel—This upper panel lists reports sent to you by other users. You might be the only recipient of the report, or you might be a member of a sharing group and receive a report that also goes to the other members of the group. You can opt out of receiving these reports.

Your deliveries panel—This lower panel lists reports that you set up to be delivered to other users. You can start or stop (turn on or off) the delivery of a report here. This allows you to set up reports in advance to their being needed. For example, a report that shows the progress of a sales campaign is turned on only when the campaign is in progress, and is turned off after the campaign is done. The report can then be turned on again when the next sales campaign starts.

Each panel displays the name of the report being delivered, who the recipients are, and what the delivery schedule is.

Deliveries are set up on the Data Explorer asset browser page.
