Adding Reports to a Schedule

You can add many reports to a schedule, and you can add a report to as many schedules as you like. You can only add reports from My Reports, so you may need to copy reports from your other containers first. For more information, see Copying Reports. Once you add a report, you can enter the parameter values that will be used to generate the report. If you do not enter parameter values, the report contains all available data.

You can add the same report to a single schedule more than once, or to different schedules. This allows you to schedule different versions of the report by providing different parameter values. It is recommended that you use a parameter value description to differentiate between versions of the same report. This description appears on the scheduled report card, and can save you from having to examine the parameter values themselves to identify the contents of the scheduled report. When the report is run, an ID and timestamp is added to the report name, to help you identify the output.

Once you have scheduled a report, you can run it with the current parameter values by displaying the scheduled report card and clicking Run Now.

To add reports to your schedule

3.	Select the reports.

Click OK.

A scheduled report card appears for each selected report.

5.	Select a scheduled report card.

6.	Enter the parameter values for all required parameters, and for optional parameters as desired.

If there is a search icon, click and search for the value. For more information, see Searching for Parameter Values.
