Emailing a report or document

You can send a report or document to any email address.

Note: If you are sending a Flash-enabled document to another user, the recipient can use the Flash document only to the extent that you are able to. This is determined by your MicroStrategy privileges. For example, if you do not have the privilege to modify a widget in the Flash document, the recipient of the document will not be able to modify a widget in the document.

You can also email a report or document directly from the folder in which it is located.
