STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE:
1. Create a New Report Schedule
a) Go to the Reports page and click on the Schedules tab
b) Click New Report Schedule
2. Add Details
a) Enter the following:
- Name - this will appear as the email subject line for the recipient, after 'Line-Up Scheduled Report:', e.g. if your name is 'Weekly Sales', the subject line will appear as Line-Up Scheduled Report: Weekly Sales
- Description - for internal use
- Recipient Email Addresses - once you've enter an email address, make sure to enter a space after the address, so that the email then shows in the field.
NOTE - the first email address you enter will appear in the To field. Any subsequent emails will appear as BCC. So if you wouldn't like anyone to see any email addresses on the schedule, then it may be worth putting your email addresses first
