Report schedules

Report schedules are used to define schedules for reoccurring reports or reports that need to be run on a future date. Each schedule contains a list of email recipients to which the report will be forwarded. The Report Schedules tab of the dashboard is used for managing these schedules. There must be at least one report definition before a report schedule can be created.
