    Conditions provide a unique way to set up a schedule, in that the report will only be sent out if the condition(s) become true.

     

    • Create a condition by choosing a field from the report, an operand that applies to this field, and finally entering a value. Then tap on Save. For example, you could select the invoice field, choose the greater than operand and set the value as 5000. So now your condition will become true if the invoice value surpasses the amount of $5000.
