Setting the presentation reports schedule

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

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.
