This article explains how admins can embed a report in an email using simple programs.

Overview

Admins can configure reports and attach a maximum of five files in an email. Once a Simple Program is created, you can configure reports and send them to participants using emails in Simple Programs.

Note: To embed a report, the admin must first create an email template with a report.
