# Understanding scheduled report emails


When a scheduled report is generated, recipients receive an email notification containing:
+ A secure, time-limited download link to access the PDF report. The link expires after 15 days.
+ A unique password required to open the PDF file. Each report generation produces a new password.
+ The report name, dashboard name, and generation timestamp.

PDF reports are encrypted and stored in AWS-managed Amazon S3 buckets. The download links use pre-signed URLs that grant time-limited access to the specific PDF file.
