We have used Report Caster to email reports. Is it possible to have a single WF report with both data AND a graph. We would then burst and email it thru Report Caster.

How would you get both a nicely formatted report of the data and the graph in ONE report? I can see how you can do this on a dashboard by adding each individually...but we would need a single report to email...

this is all rather interesting but how would Report Caster burst and email such a report?

Right now we have a PDF, the first column is hidden but contains the employee ID. Report Caster bursts and emails based on this column.
I'd like to add a graph to the report following the data...but still have it bursted and emailed.

However the methodolgy shown in this thread, if I understand it correctly is really combining two separate reports into a PDF. Could Report Caster still burst and email it? In fact can Report caster even burst and email a graph? I am usnsure where the burst value would be held...

Somewhere I had a feeling of gone over through the following lines, "when using burst options, Report burst based on 1st BY field and graph on 2nd BY field".
