About the Scheduling Tool
A ReportCaster schedule directs the execution
of a report. The ReportCaster Scheduling tool provides
the options to define the parameters of a schedule, such as, when
a report will run, what format the output will take, and where the
output will be distributed.
You can access the Scheduling tool from:
- The Business Intelligence
Dashboard by right-clicking a Standard Report or My Report and selecting Schedule from
the drop-down list.
- The ReportCaster
Development Interface by selecting the Schedules tab and clicking New.
The following image shows the Scheduling tool. It consists of
a toolbar with options to Save, Run, or Close the schedule, a field
