Scheduling reports and utilities to run in the background

If a report or utility has a Background option, you can schedule the report or utility to run at a time you choose. The background task can be run once, or it can be set up as a recurring task that runs at certain times daily, weekly, or monthly.

To schedule a report or utility to run in the background:

  1. From the report or utility form, either right-click inside the form and select Background, or select Actions > Background.
  2. In the Background Queue form, specify whether you want the task to run once or on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
  3. Specify the times and dates as described in the online help.
