Alerting

Dashboard as email notification

I'd like to set up an email notification for the following dashboard, specifically on Saturdays and Sundays at intervals of 3 hours. Since I receive files only on these days, this schedule aligns with our data delivery. Could someone guide me on configuring this setup?

From the dashboard, select "Schedule PDF Delivery" from the Export dropdown.  Check the "Schedule PDF" box and fill in the form.  In the Schedule field, select "Run on Cron Schedule" then put "13 0-23/3 * * 0,6".

Is there a way to print the entire report in the email instead of a PDF attachment?

If it's truly a report then, yes, it can be sent in the body of an email.  However, dashboards cannot be sent that way and must be sent as a PDF.

If I "Schedule PDF", will the dashboard automatically take the date range or do I have to set it in some way?

The scheduled PDF will use the time range defined in the dashboard.  The dashboard cannot use a time picker or other user input.
