Emailing a Report from Within Your Pontem Software

All reports within Pontem Software products can be emailed directly from the 'Print Preview' window using a locally-installed email software program on your computer, such as Microsoft® Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, or an Internet-based email account such as Gmail or Hotmail.
