About the Single Page Scheduling Tool

The single page Scheduling Tool provides the full scheduling function of ReportCaster presented in a unified user interface. Using the Developer Studio HTML Composer Tool, you can add a schedule button to an HTML form that will open the ReportCaster single page Scheduling Tool. For details on adding the Schedule button to a form, see the Designing a User Interface for a Web Application With the HTML Composer manual. The single page Scheduling Tool also opens from the WebFOCUS Business Intelligence Dashboard when you right-click a report and select Schedule.

Note: Using this tool, you can only schedule Managed Reporting Standards Reports and My reports.

You can customize the Scheduling Tool user interface through the use of a template assigned to the Schedule button at development time. For example, you can set the form to omit certain sections, expand or collapse certain sections, assign default values to specific fields, control the contents of a drop-down list, and show check boxes checked or unchecked. The ReportCaster developer customizes the Scheduling Tool. If you are a ReportCaster developer, contact Information Builders Customer Support Services for information about customizing the Scheduling Tool.
