A data analyst has finalized a monthly sales performance dashboard in the organization's BI platform. Senior leadership wants the refreshed PDF version emailed to them automatically on the first business day of every month, and the analyst does not want to manually export or send the file each time. Which platform feature should the analyst configure to satisfy this requirement?
Configuring a subscription schedules the BI tool to re-render the report on a specified cadence-daily, weekly, or monthly-and push the new snapshot via email, SharePoint, or another channel without any user intervention. A designer is simply the authoring interface; drill-down is an interactive exploration action at view time; a query refresh only retrieves the latest data into the report but does not distribute it. Therefore, only a subscription establishes the recurring delivery workflow required in the scenario.
