6.13 Scheduling Reports

You can generate reports on a one-time or regularly scheduled basis.

  1. Select Reports > Report Definitions.

  2. From the list of report definitions, select one that is not scheduled.

  3. Select Schedule > Edit Schedule.

    Engine Local Time: Specify the time that you want the report to generate.

    The time you select should be based on the time zone where the Engine is located and not the workstation where you are accessing the Web application.

    Engine Local Start Date: Specify the date when you want the report schedule to take effect.

    Be aware that entering a date does not mean that the report generates on that date. If the Engine Local Start Date is set for today, which is a Monday, but the Schedule Recurrence setting is set for Weekly on Sunday, the report does not generate until Sunday.

    Once: Select this option to schedule the report to be generated only once.

    Daily: Select this option to schedule the report to be generated daily.

    Weekly: Select this option and specify a weekday to generate the report.

    Monthly: Select this option and specify a day to generate the report each month.

  4. Specify the scheduling parameters and click OK.

    The new schedule is displayed in the Schedule column of the Report Definitions page.
