Schedule a Report

Some reports have scheduling capabilities, allowing the user to schedule a report to run at a pre-determined date and time. These reports will have a Schedule button next to the report title.

NOTE: The Quartz job scheduling library is used to schedule reports. It pulls all of the scheduled reports into memory when Tomcat is started. If you edit a scheduled report, the changes are not implemented until Tomcat is restarted. However, you can immediately change the scheduling of a report by deleting it and then rescheduling it. Otherwise, the edited report schedule is not recognized until Tomcat restarts.  

To schedule a report:

  1. Click Schedule.
    The Scheduler section appears under the selected report options.
  2. Enter the scheduling criteria:
  3. In the Report can be accessed by section, enter a user's first and/or last name and click Search. You can change the number of entries to be displayed in the Search Results section.
  4. In the Search Results section, select one or more users to receive the scheduled report link by checking the checkbox next to their name(s).
  5. Once all of the users have been selected, click Select Users. The selected users appear in the Selected Users section.
  6. To remove any of the selected users, select them and then click Remove Users.
  7. When you are finished, click Schedule. The report will run on the scheduled day and time.

After a report is scheduled, it appears in the Scheduled Reports menu under Received Reports.
