Scheduled Jobs
Menu | Tables | Scheduled Jobs
Almost any report can be set up as a scheduled job. The report must be set up so there are no questions or prompts as this job runs automatically.
- Job Name – Give it a unique name.
- Frequency – Select how often you want this report to run.
- Report name – Select the report you wish to run.
- Run date offset – The jobs run at midnight, which is really a new day. So, let’s say you wanted the jobs to run for today (the 29th). The program actually runs on the 30th (midnight). A run date offset of -1 changes the date passed into the program by -1 days, the 29th in this instance. So, you can change the date passed into the program by whatever the offset is you specify.
- Run date range – many reports get a start date and end date passed in. For those reports, what’s the date range you want to use. A single day? A week? A month? Or, even a year? No date range means as of now.
- Run time – Enter the time you with this report to run. Remember that the system is shut down every Monday morning from 4:00 am to approximately 5:00 am eastern time.

These jobs are already sitting in the queue to run at their scheduled time. Any changes made to any of these reports, like adding a new user to notify when the report runs, won’t take effect until tomorrow because the report, as is, is already in the queue.
