Scheduling and Delivery
Windchill Business Reporting offers powerful tools for scheduling reports and report delivery options. You could choose, for example, to schedule a report to run overnight or during the weekend when system demands are lower. You could also schedule certain reports to run at regular intervals, such as weekly, monthly, or quarterly.
If a Windchill Business Reporting report is taking longer to run that you want to wait, you can choose to have the report continue running in the background by selecting one of the following delivery options:
• Save Report -- You can choose to save the report to a file location on your system where it can be accessed by you or other users.
• Save as Report View -- You can choose to save the report as a report view. This saves your input parameters and other information, allowing you to run the same report query at a later time, without having to enter the input parameters again.
• Email Report -- You can choose to have the report emailed to a user or users upon completion.
• Print Report -- You can choose for the report to print upon completion.
For additional information on scheduling and delivery options, see the documentation accessible from the Windchill Business Reporting user interface.
