Setting report to email upon clicking without scheduling

Good morning,

I want to set up a report to have it emailed to a bunch of people when the report is selected. I need this to be available to send anytime, so I can't schedule it. I tried creating a bogus event in Event Studio but it's not working the way I want it to. Can this be done inside Report Studio?

Thanks,

Cindy

If the people will remain the same, or from a set list, you can set up bursting. Create a dummy table in the report with the name/emails. You then have to setup bursting in the report, I forgot which settings to use. Create a prompt page to pick email address and then run it in bursting mode. I have done this in the past, but it's been years so I can't really help much other than it is possible and you need to play around with the burst settings in the report.
