The Report Subscription feature lets you subscribe to reports you have access to. Used with the Report Generator, you can customise a report to your needs and then use Report Subscription to schedule it to be emailed to select users on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. You can also edit and cancel subscriptions here.
If you arrived at the Report Subscription page by clicking 'Subscribe' from the Report Generator screen, then the report you are subscribing to is the only one the system will display.
