- If you want to refresh your dashboard on a schedule without emailing it to recipients, deselect Receive new results by email when dashboard is refreshed
When the subscription emails the refreshed dashboard to each recipient, it sends it to the email address set in Settings | Email | My Email Settings. If no email is set in My Email Settings the refreshed dashboard is sent to the recipient’s email address set on their Salesforce User record.Subscription notifications are typically sent from the email address of the user who created the dashboard subscription. To use an organization-wide email address, in Setup, select Enable Org-Wide Email Address for Dashboard Subscription and select the org-wide email address to use from the dropdown.
Important Recipients see the same report data as the person running the report. It’s possible that they see more or less data than they normally see in Salesforce. - Click Save.
The dashboard subscription starts, and recipients begin receiving dashboard results by email according to the schedule and conditions you set. For considerations, review Reports and Dashboards Limits and Allocations.
