3.Then click the Scheduler tab where sending notification can be scheduled.
4.On the Reports Types tab specify the reports:
a)License Usage
The Report contains the licensed mailboxes, mailboxes in use and the maintenance information. If the customer is over the license limit or the maintenance is expired, this information will be displayed in red font in the email.
b)Usage Statistics
If you activate the checkbox Exclude deleted/deactivated user accounts then deactivated user accounts will be excluded from the report.
c)Archive Statistics
For example:
a.The scheduler is set up to 8 PM, and the interval is one day. You intend to have a statistic for the last 24 hours. So you will generate the statistic for the last 24 hours beginning at 8 PM
b.The scheduler is setup up to 8 PM, and the interval is 4 hours. You intend to have a statistic for the last 4 hours. So you will generate the statistic for the last 4 hours (statistic between 4 PM until 8 PM). The next job run is at 12 PM. So you will generate the statistic for the last 4 hours (statistic between 8 PM until 12 PM)
c.The scheduler is setup for 6 PM, and the interval is one week. You intend to have a statistic for the last 7 days. So you will generate the statistic for the last 7 days by hours. The next job run is at 6 PM one week later.
5.Individual tasks can be Deactivated, Deleted or Changed by right-clicking the task name under the Notification settings node.
