Report subscription

Here, you can select render types and define how the report is delivered. There are four render types available: JSON, XML, CSV, and PDF. If a widget is added that doesn’t support a certain render type, it will be unavailable as option for the subscription. The available user media options are based on the media types created by a DataForge manager.

After the selection, click Subscribe to start the subscription. The header of the report that has been subscribed to is now green and displays the info text Subscribed.
