Hi all, I'm working on sending reports via email which is working just fine. However, because of the way I had to set up the reports to be viewable in perspective I am being returned empty reports that look like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/7/a7d6f1efe72afcd154d070e45c4bcb22194f4a12.png) whereas in the perspective session I'm able to see reports that look like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/b/eb3571ec6a0dc15dddeb06e1fd943f94399eff36.png) I'm uncertain as to how to fix this but hopefully someone a little more skilled with the subtlety of perspective can help me troubleshoot this one. Thank you, Cam ---

Are there any parameters on your report that it requires to populate the report data? I would double check that when you are calling `system.report.executeAndDistribute()` to send the email that you are passing all needed parameters, and that parameter the keys are not misspelled.
