Print results, attached to email?

Feb 03, 2011

Hi,

I have a client who wants the results email (report) to be the contents or attachment (appearance) of the email they receive (instead of the coded results).

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi Anna & welcome to Heroes,

It's currently not possible to change the output of the emailed results.

The e-mailed results are provided in raw text format in the body of an e-mail (raw text is the most flexible and universal format without the need for outside or unique applications to access the data such as Word, Excel, etc). The recipient can then copy and paste the comma-separated output provided in the e-mailed results into a text file and open with Excel. After importing into Excel, you can select a "Table" format and it will organize the data into columns for better analysis. A common work flow for importing the text into Excel is as follows: 

1. Open Notepad 

2. Copy and paste the text from the email into Notepad 

3. Choose File > Save As 

4. Change the file type to All Files 

5. Type in the filename and include the .csv extension to create the CSV file 

6. After saving the file as a .CSV file, open Excel 

7. Open the CSV file in Excel and the text will be appropriately formatted
