Schedule a custom report

Schedule reports

As a report owner, you can schedule a custom report to run at a specific frequency and share the results with selected users. You can also specify when the schedule starts and stops.

Users who do not have the platform administrator role can schedule a maximum of 3 exports.

Only reports with date filters can be scheduled.

Before you begin, save the custom report you want to schedule.

1. At the top of the homepage, click All.

7. Choose the frequency for running the report and select the unit: Day(s), Week(s), Month(s), or Year(s).
8. Specify the date of the first report computation.
   If you select the current date, the first report will be generated in one week.
9. Optional: Specify an end date for the schedule.
10. Optional: In the Share tab, select the users whom to share the report with.
11. At the top of the page, click UPDATE to save the schedule.

The report will be generated at the chosen frequency. Each time the report is generated:
