Sending a Report via E-mail

FastReport can send a finished report by e-mail in any format required without the need for a separate mail application.

When exporting by e-mail the E-mail setup dialogue is opened. Before exporting begins the sender's email account details should be set on the “Account” tab:

• From Name : sender’s name

• From Address : sender’s e-mail address

• Organization : sender’s organization

• Signature : signature for e-mail; it can be generated by clicking on the “Build” button once the earlier fields have been filled in

• Host : SMTP server service

• Port : SMTP server port

• Login : access name for authorization on SMTP server, if required by the specified SMTP server

• Password : authorization password, if required by the specified SMTP server

• Remember properties : remember all fields for further usage

After filling in the necessary fields on the “Account” tab, the message fields on the "E-mail” tab must be completed:

• Address : e-mail address of recipient; previously used addresses can be selected from the drop-down list

• Subject : message subject; previously used subjects can be selected from the drop-down list

• Text : message text

• Format : format of exported report attached to the e-mail; select one of the available export formats; the FastReport (FR3) format is also available for selection

• Advanced export settings : when enabled the OK button opens the appropriate export format settings dialogue; when disabled default export settings are used

Export via e-mail features: only plain authentication on SMTP servers is supported. If authentication is not required then it is not necessary to enter “Login” and “Password”.
