Actions Bar of the Reporting Form

Use the Actions bar of the Reporting form to generate a report or schedule it to be generated at a later time. To save time, you can copy options from a favorite report to use as the basis for a new report, or to update an existing report. You can also specify recipients for a report distributed via email, as a link or as an attachment.
