Once you have created a report, you can schedule the automatic generation of the report in PDF, HTML, CSV, XLS, or RTF format and have it emailed to specific users you wish to notify.

Adding a scheduled report

Schedule the automatic generation of a report and have it sent to the users on the mailing list at a specified time.
Note: The following three reports can't be scheduled:
  • Configuration Change Detail
  • Current DHCP Usage
  • Past Deployment
Note: Large-sized reports might not be deliverable if the recipient email server has limited the size of individual emails that it will accept. Consider generating reports on more narrow or specific objects to ensure the reports can be emailed successfully.

To add or edit a scheduled report:

  1. Select the Administration tab. Tabs remember the page you last worked on. Select the Administration tab again to ensure you are working with the Administration page.
  2. Under Tracking, click Reporting.
  3. Under Report Schedules, click New.
  4. Under General, enter a descriptive name for the report that you are scheduling in the Description field.
  5. Under Schedule Settings, set the time and frequency for the schedule:
    • Start Time—specify the time at which the scheduled report is generated and being sent via email and select AM or PM.
    • Start Date—specify a date on which a scheduled report will be sent. The format should be DD MMM YYYY (for example, type 10 MAR 2012 for March 10 2012). Alternatively you can click the calendar button to select a date.
      Attention: If your preferred browser locale does not match the configured Address Manager system language locale, you may experience issues with the date component within Address Manager. If you cannot configure the date component, you must update the browser locale to match the configured Address Manager system language locale. By default, the Address Manager system language locale is configured to English [en-US].

      For more information on supported Address Manager system languages and configuring the Address Manager locale, refer to Setting system language.

      Note: The time and date is based on the Address Manager server time zone, schedule a report accordingly.
    • Frequency—select Once to generate and send the scheduled report just once at the specified time and date. Select Every, enter a value in the text field, and select a time interval from the drop-down list to send the scheduled report at a regular interval.
    • Enable—by default, this option is pre-selected to activate the scheduled report. You can un-check this option to deactivate. You can also un-check the option when editing.
  6. Under Reports, select one or more reports that you have already created from the Reports to Schedule drop-down list and click Add to add them on the email list.
  7. Under Email, select one or more users to whom you wish to send the reports from the Recipients drop-down list and click Add to add them on the email list.
    Note:
    • An administrative user can't be selected.
    • If no user is selected, the report schedule will be created for all users.
    • Report scheduling can only be performed by an Administrative user.
    • Subject—enter a subject to be used in the email.
    • Body—add comments regarding the report being sent, or any other comments that you wish to communicate to the users.
  8. Under Change Control, add comments, if required.
