Scheduled Task Configuration
   

Scheduled Task Configuration is used to set up schedules for distributing reports via email, as well as for site archiving. To schedule tasks, click Scheduled Task Configuration in the left menu of the Reporting Engine Administrator.

Scheduled Email Tasks

To Create a New Scheduled Email Task:

1.The New Email Task form is displayed in this section by default. If it is not already displayed, click on New Email Task under Current Tasks.  
2.Give the task a meaningful name. (The Task Type is based on the type of task selected and is not editable.)  
3.Select a user who will receive the email.  
4.Type in the user's email address  
5.Specify the frequency of distribution: daily or weekly.  
6.Specify the day.  
7.Specify a time of day for the task to run.  
8.Select a dataset.  
9.Select a specific report to be sent.  
10.Give the task an email subject line.  
 
Each task can only send one report. Otherwise, emails would become far too large, risking blockage by email filters or excessive download times. Thus, you might need to set up multiple email tasks for each individual user.

When the form has been completed, click Submit to save it. The Task Name, along with the type of task, will appear in the list on the left under Current Tasks.
