Symptom
When there is a report that needs to be run at a regular interval it becomes an administrative burden. Using the automated process the burden of remembering to run the report is eliminated. The steps below list what can be done to implement this functionality.
The same report is run on a regular basis how do I make it happen automatically?
Note:
- Job Schedule is not supported for List View reports - You can use Ad Hoc Reports and schedule a job on it instead
- If you are using the Report Center you can refer to the KBA 2464604 - Scheduling Reports In Report Center
