# Scheduling reports

### Introduction

Suppose you are looking to send metrics once or regularly automatically. Great news! Our platform allows you to save reports, both custom and out-of-the-box views, to your teammate's inboxes without requiring logins for your teammates.

### Schedule a report

The platform empowers you to schedule your report to send to yourself and/or others on a flexible basis in various formats. Let's go ahead and select a report that you have previously saved. To open the scheduler, click the ellipsis on the top right and select "Schedule delivery."

You will be directed to the "Schedule Delivery" window to set your schedule options.

For the schedule options:

* Schedule Name (optional): The schedule name defaults to the report name but can be customized to any desired name.
* Recurrence: The default is daily, but the dropdown allows numerous other options. You can then choose your preferred send time.
* Destination: Email (required)
* Email address: This will default to your email address, but you can add or remove any desired email addresses.
* Format: The default is PDF, and you can switch this to CSV or PNG visualization.

There is also a "Filters" tab for optional filters that can be defined. The filters will only display the filters applied to your dashboard. If you want to add an additional filter, you must first add it to the dashboard.

There is an "Advanced" tab for options like adding custom messages, customizing results or values, or changing your delivery timezone.

Once you've configured your options, you can send a test send with "Test now," if you wish, or save the schedule by clicking "Save."

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.chord.co/analyze-with-dashboards/analytics/scheduling-reports.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
