This request is being researched by Engineering.

Subject:

Add ability to save .FRD file when emailing a report.

Steps to Duplicate:

  1. Launch FRx Report Designer.
  2. Click on Catalog of Reports. Select a Catalog and open.
  3. Click on the Output tab.
  4. Select FRx DrillDown Viewer [Enhanced XML].
  5. Change the File Name to your Desktop.
  6. Click on the E-mail options tab.
  7. Select to enable and add the desired e-mail address.
  8. Select Send as Attachment. Generate the Report.

Note: The e-mail will be sent but the .FRD does not save to the Desktop location.

Currently, FRx is designed to not save the .FRD file when the output option of e-mail is selected.

Business Reason:

Adding this ability would save the extra resources needed to take the additional step of saving each report prior to emailing them.

Possible Workaround:

Generate Report first without adding e-mail option. Run again with e-mail option selected.
