Scheduling a report

Creating a report schedule

Note: If using a reporting template, ensure you select Excel for the data to be merged into the template. - Ensure the Trigger is set as Repeating Interval.
- Configure the the timing of the schedule to run, along with the appropriate days and times.
Note: Do not create any schedules between 3AM and 6AM on Sunday (your local time) as this is our maintenance window. - Click Filters to enter override values for any filters set on the report which are applied when the schedule runs. If none are entered, it defaults to those set on the report.
- Click Advanced options to configure what happens when there is no data returned for that report, as well as the time zone you want applied when determining the time of day to run the schedule.
- Click Save All to keep the settings.
