Schedule Reports

Using the Schedule Report option, you can create a job to run reports repeatedly and unattended at any time. You can schedule reports in any of the following ways:

• Using predefined reports that are provided by CA Cloud Service Manager.
• Using reports that are created from Ad Hoc views.

Note: You cannot schedule Ad Hoc Views to run. You must save the Ad Hoc view as a report to schedule it to run.
