FTP
Upload your reports using an FTP server. Dynamically build the report filename and type.
Save

If a report is saved as HTML, it will output both <report>.html and an images folder containing a .png of the report. Both parts need to be present to view the report properly.
The Scheduled Email Action will distribute a Report via email when it is finished. Emails can be provided either by adding a list of emails in the Action interface, or by choosing from configured Rosters and User Roles. The sending address, email subject, email body and file name are all configurable. Subject, Filename and Body editors can utilize Expressions to dynamically add content or change names.
