Sounds like you are looking for ‘Alerts’. In CR Designer go to Reports>Alerts> and then create/modify alerts. This will get you started, also the CR help fileis very good and will walk you through how to create and set them up with email notification if you are not familiar.
Start there…repost a mroe specific question if you get stuck.

Hi,

Alerts can be created but iam not able to setup an automated email to user once the required condition is met.
Can you further guide me how the alerts can be set as emails with a link to the report…

Thanks in Advance

I should have asked if you are using Enterprise as well.
Assuming you are go into the CMC>ReportObject>Schedule>AlertNotification.

From here is set up the email to be notified when an alert condition is met. Of course the report also has to be run/scheduled on a recurring basis.
