Schedule a report according to one of the following methods:
Human view
: Schedules a report according to the set number of hours. You can add days of the week with start and end times.
When scheduling a report in the
Human view
the
Next Run
date may be incorrect. You may need to change the number of hours field when scheduling the report.
Cron view
: Schedules a report according to a Cron time string format, which consists of five fields that Cron converts into a time interval. Use this view to schedule a report on certain hours, days, months, years, and so on. For examples of Cron strings, see Schedule a Report Examples.
When using the
Cron view
, the
Start at
and
Ends
fields may conflict with Cron string expressions. For example, when using frequencies (i.e. ‘/’) if you type the expression
0 */6 * * *
(runs every 6 hours), with a start time of 15.00, the next run time is not 21:00. The run time depends on Cron run times, which are 00.00, 06:00, 12:00, and 18:00 per day. In this example, the report runs at 15.00, 18.00, and then 00.00, etc. For examples using Cron generally, see Cron examples.
