Adding a Report to a Schedule

In the same way that linked reports jobs can use different parameter values to those specified in the base report, so too can scheduled jobs, but all parameters must be fully resolved for a scheduled report to run.

Jobs are typically run by the scheduling user, but the Reporting Administrators can specify another user to run a scheduled job if required.

  1. Select the schedule you would like the report to run on. Select Add Schedule or New Job from the toolbar and then select Add New Job to Schedule. The Add New Job to Schedule dialog displays the reports in the store that are available to schedule.
  2. Locate and select the report to be added and click Next.
  3. Enter the report parameter requirements if necessary and click OK.
  4. To exclude jobs from the next and subsequent executions of the schedule they have been added to, select Disable from the toolbar. The jobs status is updated to Disabled. To reinstate a job to the next and subsequent executions of the schedule, reselect it then select Enable from the toolbar and the status is amended back.
  5. To test the execution of a job in real time select the Run Now button from the toolbar. The status of the job is displayed as running and the report is generated in the same way if it is run according to the schedule.
