Sending the Web address of a query, report, or chart by e-mail

You can provide other users direct access to the results of a query, data-push report, or data-push chart by sending a URL by e-mail.

About this task

To send the Web address associated with a query, report, or chart by e-mail:

Procedure

  1. Verify that your Internet browser is associated with your e-mail client. For instructions, see the online help for your browser.
  2. Locate the query, report, or chart in the Navigator, right-click it to display the pop-up menu, and click Email.
  3. Click Open Email Client on the Send Email window to open the compose window of your e-mail client.

    The compose window of your e-mail client opens. The Subject contains the query, report, or chart name, and the message body contains a link to the associated Web address.

Results

When the e-mail recipient clicks the link, one of two pages opens:

  • If the recipient is logged in to HCL Compass Web, the query, report, or chart opens in the right pane of the browser window.
  • If the recipient is not logged in to HCL Compass Web, the login page opens. After the user name and password are validated, the query, report, or chart opens in the right pane of the browser window, bypassing the startup query, if one is defined.
