Pentaho Provides a sample xaction script (email_inventory_inline_HTML.xaction) that does this. Script is in directory:biserver-ce\pentaho-solutions\bi-developers\reporting\unified-file-format for older versions but under Public/Bi Developer Examples/Reporting/PRPT Samples .

I used the Design Studio to modify the xaction script to suit my needs. The Design Studio was not perfect so I had to recheck the generated xaction script for accuracy,

It work fine.

Here is the documentation for scheduling reports by email.

Please remmember it is the enterprise version (which is better documented) and some details might change in the community version.

I am using the CE. The docs do not have information about how to get the scheduled report to appear in the email body instead of as an attachment. That's my headache – flexxxit May 14 '14 at 15:59
