3. Select Email Recipients in the Destination menu.
4. Select all other applicable options, and click Schedule.
NOTE: When you schedule a report, the last saved filter selections are used. Before scheduling a
report, save the report with appropriate filter options.
For more information, see the “Scheduling objects” section of the “Working with Objects” chapter of
the InfoView user’s guide.
Sending a unique report URL in an email
To send a unique report URL in an email:
1. In the Folders pane, browse to the location where you saved the report.
2. Click on the Schedule link below the report name.
3. Select Email Recipients in the Destination menu.
4. Uncheck the Use the Job Server's defaults option.
5. In the Add Placeholder menu next to the Message box, select the Viewer Hyperlink option.
When a user receives the email, it will include the URL.
Best Practices
You can embed hyperlinks in intranet web pages on your document management portals. By
directing your end users to the URL, you ensure that they always get the latest version of the report.
Using URLs also helps in reducing capacity utilization because reports do not have to be saved in
multiple locations.
For more information, see the “Configuring the destinations for job servers” section of the
“Managing and Configuring Servers” chapter of the administrator’s guide.
Backing up new reports
To back up new reports, you need to export a BIAR file. For information about exporting BIAR files,
see the “Specifying the destination environment” section of the “Importing Objects to
BusinessObjects Enterprise” chapter of the administrator's guide.
Best Practices
The new reports you have created are not stored in the SRM Report Optimizer server database, so
they should be backed up based on your organization’s backup policies.
Restoring backed up reports
To restore backed up reports, you need to import a BIAR file. For information about importing BIAR
files, see the “Specifying the source environment” section of the “Importing Objects to
BusinessObjects Enterprise” chapter of the administrator's guide
