schedule csv output for report

Hello Splunkers,
I am trying to find a way to e-mail a report I have already setup to e-mail a .csv of the report. Currently I have a .pdf output mailing successfully but I'm having trouble locating where I can send this in .csv.
What am I missing/where is that option?
Thanks,
Lindsay

From http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.3/Report/Schedulereports#Include_results_in_schedule...,

> CSV attachment
> Attach a results file in CSV format to the email. When you specify this option, Splunk Enterprise converts the results to CSV format for you.

Look at the section that shows the dialog boxes for setting this up at Set up an action for a scheduled report under step #6 where it has a check box for Attach CSV right next to the check box for Attach PDF.

Aloha,

We have a 24 column report in a Dashboard and when it is exported as a PDF, the Dashboard is not very pleasing to look at and pages span multiple pages with some pages have one or two columns that could not fit on the previous page and in essence the report is not easy to read without scotch-tape since the previous page's columns contained the required column for identification / correlation.

As I understand based on this message thread there is an option to "Attach CSV" in step #6.  Could you please provide information on what/where the Step #6 is or where to find all the related steps to get to the "Attach CSV" option?   Is this custom solution or part of a module, is this applicable to Dashboard PDF export, etc?   Having the option to export as a CSV may be good option especially if it is possible to schedule to export as a CSV instead of as a PDF for Dashboards.  

Any thoughts?  Thank you so much for the assist.

The link doesn't seem to work. Is there a updated document for this? Thank you!
