Scheduling Tasks to Run Reports
By setting up schedule tasks on reports, you can make reports run automatically at one or more designated dates and times, and then publish the reports to different destinations in various formats such as PDF, HTML, and Excel. This topic describes how you can schedule to run one or multiple reports on the Server Console.
Scheduled reports can greatly improve the performance of the reporting service in an organization, for example, reports can run during low network traffic times. Scheduled reports can also capture a period exactly, for example the last day of the quarter.
Report Server supports delivering reports to the following destinations: To Version, To Disk, To E-mail, To Printer, To Fax, and To FTP. You can create a schedule task to publish a report to all of the destinations at a time, however, when you schedule a task based on multiple reports, Server only supports To Version and To E-mail.
