How to Print a Weather Report

The easiest way to print a weather report is to add yourself as an external user of PSAI and then share the report with yourself via email (through the Com Portal). Follow the instructions below.

1. Add Yourself as an External User

Add yourself as an external user of PSAI by following these instructions. (When adding your contact information, be sure to input the email address at which you'd like to receive the weather report.)

2. Find the Contact in the Com Portal

Once you've added yourself as an external user, go to the Com Portal and locate the contact whose weather report you'd like to share. You can use our Com Portal filtering tips to help find the contact.

3. Generate and/or Share the Weather Report

The next step will depend on whether or not you've already generated the weather report for this contact.

If You Have Already Created the Weather Report

1. Share Contact

If you have already generated the weather report, then click the two-arrow button to share the contact.

2. Select Sharing Details

In the Share Contact modal, select the following settings:

  • Choose yourself as the external user in the "To" field.
  • Check the box to "Send via Email" so that you can print the weather report.
  • Check the box for "Weather Report" so that it is included in the email to you.

Make any other edits you desire and then click "Send."

That's it! Now you will have received an email with the weather report attached. You can print this email and use it as needed.

If You Have Not Yet Created the Weather Report

If you have not yet generated a weather report for this contact, you'll need to do that first, before you can share the weather report.

1. Create the Report

Generate the weather report by clicking the lightning bolt button at the bottom of the messaging box.

2. Decide Whether to Send It to the Lead

Once the report has been generated, you can decide whether or not to send it to the lead.

If you do want to send it, then click "Add Message" and complete the steps to send. If you do not want to send the weather report to the lead, simply click the X to close the modal.

Even though you have not sent it to the lead, the weather report will still be saved to the lead's Contact Files. That means that it can be shared with you as external user.
