Hello,

In Ignition reports, you have scheduler where you can send or save reports. However there is only a option to create a trigger on a certain time. In my case is it needed to send a report when a tag value change.

Is it possible to send a report where the trigger is a change of a tag value?

Any help appriciated

Yes, create a tag change script and use the `system.report.executeAndDistribute()` function to run your report.

[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.report.executeAndDistribute](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.report.executeAndDistribute)

Highly recommended this is done on a Gateway Tag Change Event as the function can be blocked.
