Creating and editing subscribable reports

In the default installation there are predefined reports available to which Web Portal users can subscribe. You can also create new reports or make copies of predefined reports to modify. All the reports available to Web Portal users for subscription are those you have set up in the Report Editor. You can set up several subscribable reports with different parameters for each report.
