Send a report in the Preview Sandbox environment

The information on this page refers to functionality that is available only in the Preview and Custom Refresh Sandbox environments. This functionality is not available in the Production environment.

You can set up Report Delivery options in any Adobe Workfront test environment.

While the test environments are meant to function as close as possible to your production environment, some functionality differs from your production environment.

You can schedule reports in the test environments, but the way they are delivered differs from how they are delivered from the Production environment.

For information about scheduling reports for delivery in the Production environment, see Report delivery overview.

Depending on where you schedule the reports, the delivery functionality differs between the Preview and the Custom Refresh sandboxes.
