Scheduling reports
GFI OneGuard reports enable you to generate reports on a pre-defined schedule to automate the generation of reports that are required on regular basis. Scheduled reports are sent via email to a custom list of email addresses at a particular frequency.
To open the list of scheduled reports, from the left pane go to My Reports > Scheduled.
Creating a scheduled report
- Hover over a default or a custom report that will serve as the basis of your scheduled report and click Generate.
- Specify a report name by clicking on the report name at the top and keying in the custom name. Report names must be unique.
- Click on the report description underneath the name and key in a friendly description of the report to help you understand the aim of the report.
- From the General tab, configure report options to define the data and metrics for the report. When done click the Schedule tab.
- Turn on Report Schedule.
- In the Occurrence field, choose how frequent the scheduled report is to be generated. Select the interval and configure the appropriate schedule:
Occurrence interval | Description |
---|---|
Once | Generates a one-time report. Choose the date and time when to generate the report. |
Daily | Generates the report every day. Choose the time of day when to generate the report. |
Weekly | Generates the report every seven days. Choose the day of the week and the time when to generate the report. |
Monthly | Generates the report once every month. Choose a particular first or last weekday of the month and the time when to generate the report. |
- Click Save Report.
The reports are generated on the configured schedule and will be available in the Generated tab. You can also send the scheduled reports via email.
