To run Reports and Dashboards automatically on a regular basis, you must select either Simple or Calendar from the Recurrence drop-down menu on the Schedule tab.
Simple: recurrence repeatedly runs the job at a regular interval set in minutes, hours, days, or weeks.
Calendar: recurrence involves more settings: time of day, days of the week, or days of the month, and months of the year.
The following two tables lay out your options for recurrence, based on your previous choice:
Simple Recurrence
Repeat Every
The interval between jobs in minutes, hours, days, or weeks.
Run a Set Number of Times
Runs the specified number of times.
Run Until a Specified Date
Runs until a calendar date is reached. Click the calendar icon to select the date.
Run Indefinitely
Runs at the specified times until you delete the job.
Holidays
A holiday calendar specifies a list of days when the scheduled report will not run. To use a holiday calendar, select it from the drop-down list. Only one holiday calendar can be selected at a time. Holiday calendars are configured by an administrator; if no calendars are available in this list, this option has not been configured for your system.
If your server recognizes Daylist Savings Time (DST), jobs scheduled using simple recurrence may seem to occur one hour later (when DST ends) or one hour earlier (when DST begins). If you want jobs to recur at the same time of day (respecting DST adjustments), use calendar recurrences.
