Send and share reports effectively

In this video, you will learn:

  • How to send reports to users, teams, or any email address
  • How to share reports with anyone
  • What recipients can see and do with a Workfront report

Key takeaways

  • Sending Reports to External Users: You can send reports to non-Workfront users by entering their email addresses, making it easy to share data outside your organization. ​
  • Access Rights Control Visibility: The recipient’s view of the report depends on the access rights you set, ensuring data security and appropriate visibility. ​
  • Repeating Delivery for Snapshots: Scheduled deliveries provide frozen snapshots of data at specific times, useful for tracking trends and maintaining a history of project data. ​
  • Sharing Reports with Teams: Reports can be shared with individuals, teams, or job roles, granting either view or manage rights. ​ Shared reports appear in the users “Shared with Me” section. ​
  • Public and System-Wide Sharing: Reports can be shared via public links for external users or made visible system-wide for all Workfront users, offering flexibility in data sharing.
