To create a schedule:

Locate the report or dashboard you want to schedule in the repository.
Right-click the report or dashboard and select Schedule... from the context menu, or if it already has a schedule, click the schedule icon . The Scheduled Jobs page appears.
Click Create Schedule. The Schedule tab of the scheduler appears.
Set a start date, choosing whether to run immediately or on a specific date. If a specific date is selected, click the calendar icon to select a start date and time.
Specify the time zone for the schedule. The default time zone is the time zone of the server, the time zone you entered at log in. If you’re in a different time zone, set this field accordingly.
Choose a recurrence setting. If you select Simple or Calendar Recurrence, additional controls appear on the page.

• None: Run the job once.
• Simple: Schedule the job to recur at a regular interval, specified in minutes, hours, days, or weeks.
• Calendar: Schedule the job to recur on days of the week, days of the month, specific dates, or date ranges.

If you set up a job with simple recurrence to start immediately, the job schedule will change after export/import or a server restart. This happens because the job does not retain the previous run history and therefore starts immediately after import or restart. If you have a large number of scheduled jobs, all scheduled jobs with simple recurrence will attempt to start at the same time after export/import or restart. This can impact server performance. In addition, some scheduled jobs may be locked out and they will continue to try to run.

To ensure a recurring schedule does not change after export/import or restart, either use simple recurrence with a specific start time, or set up calendar recurrence.

7. If the report or dashboard you are scheduling has input controls that prompt for user input, click the Parameters tab.

Saved values, if there are any, appear in a drop-down list at the top of the page. In the Use saved values drop-down, you can set the input controls defined for the report or dashboard you’re scheduling. You can set the input values for the scheduled job, and click Save Current Values to save the input value as a named set of values.

8. Choose a set of saved values, or set the input controls.

9. Click the Output Options tab and set the output format and location.

10. Click the Notifications tab and set up email notification.

11. Click Save. The Save dialog box appears.

12. In the Scheduled Job Name field, enter a name for the job, for example, Weekly Report. The description is optional.

13. Click Save to save the schedule. The job appears in the list of saved jobs for the report or dashboard.
