Schedule reports to run automatically

When adding a task to generate a report, you must specify:

  • the report type
  • the desired output destination (email recipient or file location)
  • the report format (HTML, XML, CSV-Unicode, or CSV-ANSI)
To email a report, you must configure Equitrac with a mail server. See Configuring the Mail Server for Email Notifications. You can only email a report to a single address.

To add a scheduled Report task, do the following:

  1. In Web System Manager, select System Configuration > Scheduled Tasks in the left pane.
  2. Select Report from the Add scheduled task list to open the Add Scheduled Task page.
  3. Enter a Name and Description for the task.
  4. Select No from the Suspended drop-down list to run the task at the scheduled intervals. See Suspending a Task for details on suspending a task.
  5. Select the desired report from the Report namedrop-down list, and click Destination.

    6. Only standard and customized site reports appear in the report name drop-down list; customized personal reports are not included. See the Reports Manager section in the Kofax Equitrac Windows System Manager Guide for information on how to save a Custom report.

  6. In the Report destination dialog box, select either Email or File as the report destination.
  7. If you select Email, do the following:
    1. Select the attachment file type. More than one Attachment type can be sent.

    3. Click OK.
