•Before you can add an e-mail schedule, you must set up e-mail notification, as described in the topic, ”Setting Up E-mail Notification” on page 154.

•The management server service must be running for users to receive e-mail notification.

•Only the e-mail schedules created by the current user are listed. To view the e-mail schedules for all reports, click Reports > Storage Essentials > Report Configuration in HP Systems Insight Manager in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then, click the Scheduled Deliveries tab at the top of the screen.
