The scheduled reports can report on one or multiple projects in your workspace. Legal Hold sends the scheduled report in an email PDF attachment to anyone with a valid email address, including non-Legal Hold entities.

Note: You can also run scheduled reports from the Libraries > Scheduled Reports tab. See Scheduled Reports.

  2. Complete the fields in the Scheduled Report layout. See Create Scheduled Report layout fields.
  3. Click Save. The Scheduled Reports Detail page appears.
  4. (Optional) Click Preview Report to preview the report as it will appear in the email.
