Setting the schedule

Schedule a reporting job to occur once or on a repeating cycle on the Schedule Report tab of the page Presentation Reports > Scheduler.

Note: It is advisable to schedule report jobs on different days or at different times, to avoid overloading the Log Database and slowing performance for logging and interactive reporting.

Steps

  1. Enter a name that uniquely identifies this scheduled job in the Job name field.
  2. Select Recurrence Options for the job based on the Recurrence Pattern you want, as follows:
