As a Managed Reporting Analytical User with ReportCaster scheduling and library privileges, you can use ReportCaster to schedule a Standard Report or My Report to be distributed either through an e-mail, to a printer, to a Managed Reporting folder, or to the Report Library. To change or request ReportCaster privileges, see the Managed Reporting administrator.

ReportCaster scheduling options allow you to customize the distribution of your reports. You can designate when the report will be distributed and choose its format. You can also choose its delivery output, for example, as a text file, an HTML active report, or as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or PowerPoint presentation. You can distribute the report to a single recipient or to several recipients. By creating a Distribution List you can specify a group of recipients, for example, all managers in a department, and conveniently reuse the list in current or future schedules. Instead of Distribution Lists, you can use Access Lists for distributions to the Report Library to specify multiple recipients who are allowed to view your report.

You can also specify the priority at which ReportCaster should process your schedule, and whether or not to send notification regarding the schedule status. Another ReportCaster scheduling option, bursting a report, enables you to break a report into sections, distribute each section as a separate report, and designate the recipient of each section.

The ReportCaster Development interface (or the ReportCaster HTML User Interface accessed from Managed Reporting) enables Managed Reporting Analytical Users to create and maintain Distribution Lists and Access Lists, manage schedules, run log reports, and purge the log file. Additionally, you can create, update, and delete an Execution ID, which is a valid user ID that is used to run a schedule on a specified server.
