    • To Email Address - The email address where the report will be sent.
    • From Email Address - Optionally, you can type an email address that will be displayed as the sender of the scheduled report. If you leave it blank, reports will be sent from reports@boldchat.com
    • Output - The format of the report: XLS, PDF, CSV, or HTLM.
    • Schedule - The frequency of receiving reports, which can be daily, weekly, or monthly.
    • On Days of Week - Only available when you schedule reports on a weekly basis.
    • On Month Days - Only available when you schedule reports on a monthly basis.
    • Period - The date range that report includes.
