Scheduler for Reporting
I appreciate that the requirements for a scheduler could go on for ever as people visualise additional enhancements......,
However a simple selection criteria of : Report Name, Schedule Date/Time, and a Frequency Option would provide a significant amount of flexibility and i am sure that it would save an equally significant amount of time. The ability to have this emailed to a specific address would be invaluable as an extra.
One other enhancement that would work in conjunction with this would be the ability to make the date selection within a report dynamic enough to move with todays date (i.e TODAY, TODAY +/- nnndays... etc).
Can I have this next week please :) :)

Hi Danny,
The spec for this item was completed yesterday and passed to the developers for technical review. It's hoped we can get this into the release after Amber (next), i.e. Indigo (next+1).
Your comments noted re. SFTP which we've tried for but this will be email only.
The scheduler is planned to support varying periods and interval options, plus choice of format and recipient email.
Thanks for all your feedback we appreciate it! :)
Best wishes,
Adam

The blueprint for this feature was completed today and a developer has been assigned to the project.
Headline features include:
- Emailing of reports.
- CSV, XML and PDF format.
- Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly schedule with relevant choice for day of week / month etc.
- Choice to email to multiple recipients within your company.
- Time will almost certainly be locked to a slot in the early hours of the morning, say 3AM.
I know that many uses are now using our API for report scheduling. This will continue to work but this additional option will be available for all users in the future. I don't have any information on release date but a developer is already working on this.
Comments as always are welcome!
Best wishes,
Adam
