Hello all, I have configured an email report in Ignition set to execute at midnight daily. The problem is that the production lines at our plant dont always stop at midnight. I wanted to use a PLC bit to signal the end of production and the execution of the report. Not sure if this is possible. Any assistance would be appreciated.  
Thanks in advance.
