Team,

I have a report in Cognos 11.0.11 - which need to be scheduled on Monday.

In the Report I have a List Report which shows 10 to 20 records. I wanted those records to be embedded in Email body instead of an attachment. Can anyone send me the steps for this please.

Thanks!
Kiran

Found this ...
http://cognosknowhow.blogspot.com/2014/05/how-to-embed-cognos-report-in-email.html

The link includes ...
It is very useful to have report in an email body, as the email can be well formatted, and users do not need to open attachment at all. It is even more appropriate for a small report. However, it is a little trick to have this function; the key is that

•the email body needs to be blank, and
•the attached report is HTML output.
Please see sample with simple report and event studio
=======================================
I do like " ... more Appropriate for a small report ... " above

Blank email body may be a negative.

As for HTML requirement, can understand that ... BUT my Company
LOVES Excel Reports.

Please let us know if the try the above link ... and your thoughts, recommendations.

Thank you, Bob

Thanks its working fine.

The mistake I have done is "In Rows per Page I have mentioned  - 99999999999" and the Email scheduling is not working.

When I change it to 100 its working fine. Anyways, thanks for your help on this.
