You are now ready to run the report, by clicking on the large Schedule for later button. Please note that when you schedule a report that will be emailed to you, formats like PDF and Excel are more usable.

The report does not run, but instead a window appears which allows you determine the following:

When you would like the report to start running
How frequently the report runs
How the report is delivered
Who receives the report

The example below shows the scheduling parameters that can be set by the user.

When do you want the first report to run?

How often do you want the report to recur?

If you want the report to recur, you can set the frequency by selecting from the drop-down list and entering a preceding digit e.g. 2 days, 1 week, 2 months etc.

How do you want the report delivered?

Choose the delivery method from the list.
