5.	Scheduling reports

5.1	Introduction

With GFI ReportCenter, you can schedule reports. You can either schedule a report to be generated once on a particular date or else to be generated periodically starting from a particular date.

With scheduling, you can thus automate the generation of reports as well as schedule the generation of reports in off peak hours, such as after office working hours, so that you make the best use of system resources.

Furthermore, you can also configure GFI ReportCenter to distribute scheduled reports by email automatically. For every scheduled report, you can configure custom emailing parameters including the list of report recipients and the file format, for example, Adobe Acrobat (PDF), in which the report will be attached to the email.

Both default and custom reports can be scheduled for automatic generation.
