Description
Schedule Frequency
Choose a timing for the schedule. The typical choices are self-explanatory: Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly. For each timing, enter additional settings such as occurrence (Every) and time. For Monthly, also specify the day of the month. For Yearly, specify the month and date.
Caution: If you are scheduling a yearly report on a leap year and you choose February 29 as the month and date, the Console will not save your setting. To ensure that yearly reports are covered on leap years, choose a different date; or choose either February 28 or March 1 if you want your schedule to be as close as possible to February 29.

Repeat as required to add another schedule for the same group.

Click OK.
Reports can be archived in PDF, HTML, Excel, Comma Separated Value (csv), or Rich Text Format (rtf). The default PDF format should be used when archiving reports. Compared to PDF reports, other reports may lose formatting information and appear differently. In addition, Excel format is more memory-intensive than PDF.
-
Select the e-mail scheduled reports to check box and a user from the drop-down menu to automatically send an e-mail notification when the report is archived.
The user receives an e-mail notification stating that the report has been successfully archived. The e-mail also contains a URL to the report so that the user can view the report from the URL. The e-mail notification is sent to the e-mail address listed in the user's profile. The user must have an e-mail address in their user profile.
