Scheduled reports

You can submit requests to the report server to generate a report immediately or at scheduled times. If a report is scheduled, the report server processes the report and distributes a link to the specified distribution list at the designated time.

Note: The outputs created by scheduled reports are automatically purged after seven days.

For example, you can schedule a Shift Pattern Detail Report on the employees of a team to run at the end of every quarter. The report is automatically sent to the recipients at the scheduled date and time every quarter.

The recipients will receive a workmail notification with a link to the report. Optionally, you can also configure a scheduled report to be delivered to each recipient's external email address as an attachment.

When distributing a scheduled report, the system follows the security permissions defined for each user in the distribution list.
