Adding a Redirector to a Report

Redirectors are actions (or "commands") that take place after a report is finished. They are typically used to send (or "redirect") the report to another location, to notify the user that the report is ready, or that the report has failed.

You can add one or more redirectors to a report. The following table describes the commands that can be used with a redirector.
