Send an export of a view by email

After a view is created, you can export the data from this view to share with others. In this example, a marketing analyst sends an email of the daily summary to the marketing team. Follow these instructions to create an export of the data view.

  1. From the Prep Tool , select the Export button .
  2. In the Export Data dialog box, enter the following:
    1. Under Export, select New Export.
    2. Under Name, enter Daily Genre Export.
    3. Under View, select Daily Genre Summary to select the view to export.
    4. Under Delivery, select Email - Attachment. You can also send an email as an inline attachment.
      Note

      When you send information from Connect by email, it is recommended that you select an email encryption option from the PGP / GPG Encryption drop down.

  3. Open the Delivery tab and enter the following:
    1. Under Email To, enter the email addresses, separated by commas, to the recipients of the export. Select the envelope button to populate the field with your email address.
    2. Under Email Subject, enter the subject header for the email.
    For this example, keep the other default settings. You can also enter optional fields, which are helpful to describe your export.
  4. Select Save.
  5. Select Run.

You now have a saved export called Daily Genre Export that you can use throughout the Minitab Connect platform to export the summary data. You can create other exports at any time.
