Setting up email for mailing reports

Reports once generated can also be sent to a number of specific recipients in addition to being published and thus made accessible. From the Mail tab of each report's node, you can define the format and e-mails which are to be sent once a report is generated. Before you can send a mail to an administrator or an administrator group, you must ensure that the following settings are defined:

• Email is set up for the BMC Client Management. For more information, see Managing-email-settings.
• Email is specified for each recipient of the email.

As reports can be assigned to several groups, every recipient receives one mail per group, whereby each will refer to the respective group in the subject and the attachment by the following structure:

• Subject: <subject text> <group name>
• Attachment: <report name>.<group name>.<file extention>

For Example:

Subject: Have a look at this! All Devices with Agent

Attachment: Hardware Summary List.All Devices with Agent.html
