Title: Schedule Report on specific weeks
Post by: azrael on 03 Aug 2010 08:45:25 AM
A simple question regarding scheduling.
I have a report that should run in each month, week 2,3 and 4 from Monday to Friday.

Any idea how I can implement this ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

There are two ways to do this:

1. using the source report create an additional two report views.
      a. use the source to run week 2
      b.  use the views to run weeks 3 and 4
      c.  each report will need a seperate schedule for Monday - Friday



2.  create 3 addtional report views from the source report.
      a.  use the views to run weeks 2 through 4
      c.  each report will need a seperate schedule for Monday - Friday


Option 2 can be used if you want the source report to remain an on demand active report.

Also using option 2 the views will allow for different report configuration prompts to be used if needed.
