Scheduling ad hoc reports and views

You can schedule a report so that the report is created at a specified time interval. You can also specify the delivery mechanism for a scheduled report. For example, you can send a report through email at a scheduled interval, or you can schedule a report to be saved at a specific location on the reports server. You can also schedule report views to display the report only for a specific tenant.

To schedule an ad hoc report and report view

1. Navigate to the folder in which you have saved the report or report view.
2. Click the Schedule icon next to the report or report view.
3. Under the Frequency section, set the required scheduling interval in days, weeks, months, or set the schedule to be trigger-based.
4. In the Start and End fields, specify the period for which you want the report or report view to be saved.

      For example, the Save to the file system option enables you to save the scheduled report or report view to a location on the reports server.
