<h4>Custom period</h4>

<p>To define your own report period, simply select <span class="keyword">Custom period</span> from the drop-down list and enter in 
the <span class="reference">From date</span> and <span class="reference">To date</span> as well as the <span class="reference">From time</span> 
and <span class="reference">To time</span> fields as shown below:</p>

<img class="screenshot border" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/report_period_2.png" alt="Reporting period" />

<h2>Run the report</h2>

<p>To run the report without setting any further parameters, simply click on the <span class="button">Finish</span> button. To continue adding parameters, click on the <span class="button">Next</span> button, which 
will lead you to the <a href="Entity">Entity</a> parameters.</p>

<p>To schedule a report to run in the future, and to set it to recur at 
frequent intervals, simply choose the report you'd like to run
 by clicking its name from the report list at the left-hand side of the 
screen. Then, click on the large <span class="button">Select this report</span>, 
as shown below:</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/schedule_report.png" alt="Schedule button" />

<p>As with running a report on demand, you will need to select the report period, 
entity and filters and options before scheduling.</p>

<p>Please refer to the pages below, to set the report parameters:</p>

<ul>
	<li><a href="Period">Setting the report Period</a></li>
	<li><a href="Entity">Setting the report Entity</a></li>
	<li><a href="Filters">Setting the report Filters</a></li>
	<li><a href="Options">Setting the report Options</a></li>
	<li><a href="Formats">Setting the report Formats</a></li>
</ul>

<p>The example below shows a <span class="reference">Busy channels</span> report. As no entity has been
 selected, it will run for the entire organisation. The report period 
has been set to <span class="reference">Last month</span> so ideally this report would be scheduled 
to recur monthly.</p> 

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/last_month_report.png" alt="Example of report scheduling" />

<p>When you've entered your period and criteria, press the <span class="button">Schedule</span> 
button. The report does not run, but instead a window appears which 
allows you determine the following:</p>

<ul>
    <li>When you would like the report to start running</li>
    <li>How frequently the report runs</li>
    <li>How the report is delivered</li>
    <li>Who receives the report</li>
</ul>

<p>The example below shows how the fields in this window may be filled in.</p>
