Allow option to only send scheduled report from Analytics object if report has results
We want to set up reports to help us monitor for data inconsistencies and other issues that need addressing. We have noticed that we can set up reports as analytics objects and users can subscribe to them, but the report is sent even if there are no results.
We should have the option to not send empty reports, and only send if the report brought back one or more records.

Agreed. It would be a very valuable feature to have the ability to set up scheduled reports as 'alerts' that send emails only when records are present. Especially in larger institutions, there are often groups of staff that engage with Alma only when a specific need arises in their specialist role. It would be very beneficial to be able to alert them by email to things for review or action based on Analytics reports.
(It would also be beneficial to have the option for the report to appear in the body of the email, rather than a PDF attachment - but that may be for another idea!)

I agree that this would be extremely helpful.
