Scheduled tasks

Individual reports and report books can be scheduled to print or export at specified times. Reports can be exported in a variety of formats and can be delivered to a file location or by email.

Prior to version 10.3, scheduled tasks were implemented through the Report Export Manager (REM). The REM has been removed but REM tasks can be imported during migration from an earlier version of Application Studio.

For a user to schedule tasks, scheduling must be enabled and the appropriate report catalog permission must be granted to the user. The permissions relevant to task scheduling are:

  • Create Schedule: The user can create scheduled tasks.
  • Administer Schedules. The user can administer the scheduled tasks of other users.
Note: To create and administer tasks, a user must have both permissions.

A 'My Scheduled Tasks' node is displayed in the Report Catalog of users with the Create Schedule permission.

For users with Administer Schedules permission, My Scheduled Tasks and All Scheduled Tasks nodes are children of a Scheduled Tasks node.

Click My Scheduled Tasks or All Scheduled Tasks to see a list of tasks and their statuses.
