Scheduling a Report

To schedule a report:

  1. Select a report name and choose Tools, Schedule, Create. The Schedule dialog box appears. The name of the Report appears in the top of the dialog.
  2. Enter the email address of the recipient(s) to be notified when the report is completed. The email addresses must meet SMTP standards, that is, contain no spaces or illegal characters. Each email address must be separated by a comma.
  3. Optionally, select a report to be run when the specified event occurs. Select a folder name. The remaining fields are refreshed depending on the folder you select.

    Optionally, select the name of a report you want run. If you select a folder and do not select a report, all reports in the folder are run.

  4. Optionally, to override the existing filter, select another filter from the filter drop-down list box, or create a new, temporary filter by clicking Temporary Filter. The Create Filter dialog box appears.
  5. Optionally, select another stylesheet from the stylesheet drop-down list box if desired.
  6. Optionally, select the language you want used to produce the report.
  7. Optionally, enter the Output Directory path to which you want the reports written. The default is a location relative to the root directory on the web server. (Use the View, Web Server Parameters command to view the default location.) For more information, see Modifying the Report Output Directory.
  8. Select the time and day of the week you want the report to run.
  9. Click Add New.
