OPTION

DESCRIPTION

Save in Archive

Save the generated report in the report archive. A report archive must be properly configured, and the scheduler user must have proper permissions to save the report in the selected folder. The filename can include parameters for automatic insertion of report name and time/date of report generation. See the Filename Parameters section below for examples.

Print on Server

Print to one or more printers. The printer name must be accessible from the host machine. The printing mechanism is done through the custom driver (the JDK default printing does not support selecting a printer by name), and is under the same constraints as the custom drivers.

Deliver to Emails

Send a report to other users via email. To embed the report within the email as HTML, select the 'HTML Email' option. (Note that the appearance of the delivered report may not be fully preserved if the recipient's email client is not standards compliant). To send the report as an attachment, select one of the other formats (PDF, Excel, etc.). If the file is too large, it will be split into multiple emails. The maximum size allowed for each email is defined by the 'mail.attachment.max' property, which can be set from the 'Configuration' > 'Mail' page under the Server tab. The email subject line can include parameters for automatic insertion of report alias and time/date of report generation. The subject line specified here overrides the setting in 'Configuration' > 'Mail' under the Server tab. See the Configuring Server Email section for more information.

Save to Disk

Save the report on the local file system in any of the following formats: PDF, HTML, Excel, PowerPoint, RTF, SVG, CSV, Text, XML. The 'Path' field should specify a valid absolute path, including filename. (The filename extension is added automatically.) The filename can include parameters for automatic insertion of report name and time/date of report generation. See the Filename Parameters section below for examples.

Notify when Completed

Send email notifications to users about task completion status. Optionally you can check 'Notify only if failed'.
