How can I set up and manage Scheduled Reports?

Summary

The Scheduling Report feature allows you to run a report one time and then set regularly scheduled time to have the LMS rerun that report for you. Once the scheduled report has been run, the LMS will email the report link to all of the recipients. The recipients can launch the report directly from the email, there is no need to log into the LMS.




Running a Report

Before scheduling a report, you must run the report with the exact criteria, date range, etc. that should appear in the scheduled report.  To learn how to run a report, select the solutions article How do I process myLearning Standard Reports?
