Using the report scheduler wizard, you set up a job, report parameters, and output options:
• | Set up a job – A job name, when to run the job, and how often |
• | Report parameters – If the report was designed with input controls, which parameters the job will use |
• | Output options – Where to store the output, in which formats, the locale, and email options for sending the output as an attachment |
Jobs that you schedule run the reports in the background so you can use the server while the report runs.
The permissions of the user who schedules a job determine the data that the report exposes. For example, Gloria only has access to inventory data from the Southeast US region. A report that she schedules only shows data from that region, even when the report is viewed by users in other regions. Other users schedule the report themselves to see the data for their own regions.
Sensitive data could be exposed to unauthorized users if you schedule a job as an administrative user with no data restrictions because the report will contain all requested data in the data source. Any user who receives the report can view all the data regardless of the user’s access restrictions. |
