Scheduled Report Settings

Scheduled reports

Desktop Authority's Report Scheduler dialog displays a list of the reports scheduled, their scheduled date and time, and the recurrence of the schedule.

Do you want to group any items into group header sections?

The group header section is printed immediately before the detail section and contains the items selected for the group header. Each time the group header data changes a new group header is printed. Creating a group header will sort the report data by the group header items. All other items will remain in the detail portion of the report.

Select the items that you want to appear in your group header by first, highlighting the field, and then clicking . Click to remove a previously selected item from the list.

Adding a Filter to a report will restrict certain data from appearing on the report. This will generate the "WHERE" clause of the SQL statement. Click Add New Filter to begin the filter definition.

For each column, click the down arrow to select the appropriate field or condition for the filter. Available conditions are [Does, Does Not, Is, Is Not] [Contain, Start With, End With, Between, Equal To, Less Than, Less Than or Equal To, Greater Than, and Greater Than or Equal To].
