Share a Report as an Attachment in Email

One way to share Smartsheet information that you've collected into a report is to send it to people as an attachment to an email message. You can do this one time or you can specify to have the report sent on a recurring basis, automatically. When you do this, the report will run before it's sent so that it will always contain the most up-to-date information.

Note that you can also make a report available to others bysharingit or bypublishingit.For more information about these options, see the Related Articles section at the end of this article.
