About Batches

Use batches to simultaneously process sets of reports and books.

Batches include reports, books, snapshots, snapshot books, and prompts. Prompt information is for the current batch that you are running.

Saved batches can be modified, removed, or rescheduled. You can duplicate a batch to use some or all of the properties as the original batch.

By default, only the scheduling user is assigned access rights to snapshots and snapshot books in the repository. If you have file permissions to a batch, you can run every report in the batch when it is scheduled. The scheduling user can assign file permissions to other users and groups at the time of scheduling.

Scheduled batches have a scheduled batch POV (Point of View) that you can modify while scheduling. You can also specify prompt information for the batch. The POV and prompt information provides values for the POV and prompts specified for each book and report contained in the batch. You can schedule batches to be processed immediately or in the future.
