Extend the existing email subscription feature to allow me to specify exactly *when* the email is sent out - e.g. send me the email at 2pm every Monday.

RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule
Great to hear it's being worked on! Can you PLEASE not limit it to PBI Premium like everything new these days?
RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule
Can you please also send report data out in .csv format; PNG for data is absolutely pointless!
RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule
Agreed. A subscription schedule should not be tied to the refresh schedule of a data set. Each subscription should have it's own schedule.
RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule
This is very important. Often times with dashboards you have data that takes completes refreshing at different times...thus if you schedule a weekly or daily email, it will get triggered by the first data model to be refreshed so you are sending users a snapshot of sometimes only 1 out of 20 visuals refreshed. If you could specify the time of day for it to send you could have it scheduled after all data models finish refreshing.
RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule
I unchecked the link to report in the subscription selection option, saved and closed. However, I still see the "GOTO report" button in the email. Is it supposed to be like this?
RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule
very important!
RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule
Yes please - I need it.
RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule
The subscription scheduled should have the below options for users to choose from...
1. Daily (Should be able to specify what time of day.)
2. Weekly (Should be able to specify what day and time.)
3. Monthly (Should be able to specify what date and time.)
4. Every time the dataset is refreshed.
5. Send email now.
RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule
This is extremely important, as some data changes very often yet people want to be updated only during certain times.
RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule
Posting it on schedule is extremely important - some data changes all the time yet people don't have time to review it that often or just want to see the trends
