# Ad-hoc emails

When you export the report as a 'PDF' or as an 'Excel' file, you can either save the report to your computer or send it as an email.

{% hint style="info" %}
Ad-hoc emails are supported only in Inforiver Enterprise
{% endhint %}

If you select the 'Send to Email' option, you will be asked to authenticate with your Microsoft 365 account.&#x20;
