What are scheduled reports?

Scheduled reports are reports that start automatically at a defined point in time.

They run in the background and you can view the results later. For example, you can define that a report that strongly affects system performance is to run only at night when no one is working with the system.

For reports to be able to run completely automatically, dialogs must not be opened by the report during report execution. For reports that you cannot run automatically, the Opens dialogs check box is enabled on the properties pages.

You can deactivate a schedule to prevent automatic execution, but still keep the schedule in general. You can activate the schedule anytime.

The Scheduled reports group is displayed if you have the Report automation function privilege.
