Set Up a Recurring Email Schedule

Each dashboard and Interface page contains options to export and send data in reports.

You can send a report by email immediately, or you can create a schedule for recurring emailed reports. For example, you can email interface utilization reports each week to coworkers in the IT department for capacity planning.

Note: The administrator must specify an email server to enable this feature. In CA Performance Center, your user account must have the 'Send Reports by Email' role.
