  7. In the Report types section, select how you would like to receive the report. Select “PDF” for an Adobe Acrobat file, or select “XLS” for an Excel file.
    NOTE: You can open the file in Excel and then change its format to import data into other programs.

    The file provided is an XLSX file. If you are using an older version of Excel, you can install the Microsoft Compatibility Pack so that you can open XLSX files.

  8. Click the “save” button.

  9. You will return to the custom reports table, and you will now see the frequency of your subscription in the Subscription field in the table.

  10. You will receive an email with your report on the next scheduled date.
    NOTE: Scheduled reports cannot be programmed for the current date. For example, if today is Monday and I program a report to be emailed weekly on Mondays, I won’t get the first email until Monday of next week.

You can’t make changes to subscription settings once they are saved. If you want to change a subscription, for example to change the email address to which the report is sent, or to change the frequency, you need to unsubscribe to the report (see Unsubscribe to a Custom Report below) then subscribe again using the new settings.
