Important Note: If you are using a Gmail/Googlemail email address you may receive an e-mail stating a sign-in attempt has been blocked. This is because Google have enhanced their security settings to reduce unauthorized email account access. Within the e-mail you receive you will have a link to where you can adjust you account settings. You will have to turn on Access for less secure apps. If you are not comfortable with doing this Keri recommends using a different e-mail account type for this feature.

• Within a few seconds you should receive an e-mail at the recipient's e-mail address along with the report added as an attachment.

• Just like any other e-mail attachment you can choose to view the file or save it.
