Schedules
The Scheduler functionality of the Analytics section allows you to attach any Saved Report with a relative time span to a regular schedule so that the report is sent via e-mail to one or more recipients. The Scheduler can also be used to create an alert, by only sending an e-mail if the report contains any results.
