Scheduling reports with dialog

1. On the JReport Console > Resources page, browse to the report you want to schedule to run.
2. Do either of the following:
   • Select the report row, then on the task bar of the Resources page, click Run > Schedule.
   • Select the report row, right-click in the row and select Schedule from the shortcut menu.
   • Put the mouse pointer over the report row and click the Schedule button on the floating toolbar.

   The Schedule dialog is then displayed.

3. In the General tab, specify the name for the task in the Schedule Name text box. For a page report, you need to select the report tabs you want to run from the page report. You can choose multiple normal report tabs or one bursting report at a time (for scheduling a bursting report, see Scheduling a task containing a bursting report). If the report has parameters, specify the parameter values. If there are multiple dynamic connections available, expand the Select Dynamic Connection section and select a connection from the drop-down list. Click Connection Properties to view the connection information if needed. Then, specify the other options as required.
4. In the Publish tab, specify the type of the task.

   Six task types are provided by JReport Server: publishing to version, publishing to disk, publishing to e-mail, publishing to printer, publishing to fax and publishing to FTP. Choose the type you want to publish, and then set the settings for the specified type.

5. In the Conditions tab, specify the time for when the task is to be performed in the Time sub tab, and select or create a trigger to bind with the task in the Trigger sub tab.
6. In the Notification tab, specify to notify someone via e-mail of when the task is finished and whether it is successful or unsuccessful.
7. In the Duration tab, specify a time duration for the task, and ask JReport Server to cancel the task or to notify you or someone else of the task status via e-mail if the task has not yet finished running when the task duration is up. For detailed information, see Task-level timeout for advanced run and schedule tasks.

   Note: By default, the Duration tab is not displayed in the Schedule dialog. To make it available, the Enable Task Duration option on the JReport Administration page > Configuration > Advanced panel must be checked.

8. Click Finish, and JReport Server will then perform the task.

See also Schedule dialog for details about the task types and settings in each tab.
