You schedule an entry to run it at a later time or at a recurring date and time. For example, you can schedule a report or an agent.
If you no longer need a schedule, you can delete it. You can also disable it without losing any of the scheduling details. You can then enable the schedule at a later time. For more information, see Activities Management.
You can schedule an entry to run on the last day of each month or as part of a job. You can schedule reports based on trigger occurrences.
To schedule an entry, you need the permissions that are required to run the entry. For example, to schedule a report or report view, you must have read, write, execute, and traverse permissions for it. To schedule a child report view, you must have execute permissions on the parent report. You also require the following access permissions for any data sources used by the report:
dataSource - Execute and Traverse
dataSourceConnection - Execute and Traverse
With only Execute access, you are prompted to log on to the database.
dataSourceSignon – Execute
