• Find the document you want the report to be distributed to by searching for documents by document tags

If you don't have a document you wish to distribute your report to, create a new document in document manager by:

• Running a report manually and downloading it.
• In Document Manager choose to Upload a new document then Upload the report file.
• Give the document a title, and tick the allow versioning option (this will allow add a new revision of the document automatically each time the schedule of the report is run).
• Add a document tag such as Reports which you can then use in the Document search bar under the Publishing option to find and choose the document to distribute future scheduled iterations of the report too.

• Choose the File Type in which the scheduled report will be created and distributed to the chosen document - ensure this matches the type of document you are looking to distribute this too.

Viewing Distributed Reports

When a report has been scheduled, then generated and distributed to a document it will become the current version of the document and the previous version will appear in the revisions section, as an early version of the report.

• Each time a new version of the report is distributed to the document it will become the current version, and all previous versions will be accessible from the revisions section
• The Report documents are then accessible to be viewed and collaborated on by any user the documents has been shared with either in the user app and or via the native mobile apps (iOS and Android)
• TIP - Creating and adding the report documents to a reports library and then sharing the library with users, groups and roles will allow users easy access to all relevant reports and each distributed version / iteration of them
