Setting the date range for a scheduled presentation report

Use the Date Range tab of the Presentation Reports > Scheduler page to set the date range for the job. The options available depend on your selection for Date range.

Date range	Description
All Dates	Reports include all dates available in the Log Database. No additional entries are required. When this option is used for repeating jobs, there may be duplicate information on reports in separate runs.
Specific Dates	Choose the exact start (From) and end (To) dates for the reports in this job. This option is ideal for jobs that run only one time. Choosing this option for a repeating schedule results in duplicate reports.
Relative Dates	Use the drop-down lists to choose the number of periods to report (This, Last, Last 2, and so forth), and the type of period (Days, Weeks, or Months). For example, the job might cover the Last 2 Weeks or This Month. Week represents a calendar week, Sunday through Saturday. Month represents a calendar month. For example, This Week produces a report from Sunday through today; This Month produces a report from the first of the month through today; Last Week produces a report for the preceding Sunday through Saturday; and so forth. This option is ideal for jobs that run on a repeating schedule. It lets you manage how much data appears on each report, and minimize duplication of data on reports in separate runs.
