To create a schedule, supply information in the following tabs of the New Schedule dialog box:

Schedule. Specify when and how often to run the schedule. For more information, see Schedule Tab.

Tasks. Depending on your distribution method, you can select any combination of tasks (for example, a Standard Report, a My Report, and a file) to be scheduled. For more information, see Creating a Task.

Distribution. Select whether to distribute scheduled output as an e-mail message, using FTP or SFTP, to a printer, as a report in a Managed Reporting folder, or to the Report Library. You must also select whether to distribute the output using a Distribution List, distribution file, single location, or by creating a dynamic distribution list. For more information, see Specifying Distribution Options.

Settings. Specify the priority level of the schedule, notification options, and whether or not to zip the scheduled output. For more information, see Specifying Optional and Notification Settings.

Once you have created the schedule, you can edit the properties of the schedule, delete the schedule, clone the schedule, or run the schedule immediately. For more information, see Maintaining a Schedule.
