Hello Experts,

Need help to setup the output action of Reports where in message body I can see the start and end time of report data. Let say I scheduled the report every 3 Hours via email(Output Action). In Email message body we want to see the time of the report . Start time 3 Pm and End time 6 Pm so that system owner knows its 3 hours data from 3pm to 6 pm.

Sample
Message Body

Report Name: Top 10 External IP Denied

Report Start Time: Which field ??
Report End Time : ???

Description: Displays the top 10 foreign addresses that were denied inbound access by external firewall.

Hope my question is clear.
