Reporting Jobs view

Administration System Reporting Jobs Reporting Jobs view

The Reporting Jobs view displays the reporting jobs that exist at the current scope level. You can use reporting jobs to define background jobs that run selected report(s) and send the output file(s) as email attachment(s) to specified recipients. For example, you can use a scheduled reporting job to run the yard inventory report for ABC line operator at the end of each day and email the output to the recipient(s) specified for the ABC line operator.

By default, N4 hides the Exec Yard column. If you decide to manually display this column (see Hiding and displaying columns), consider that the network resources utilized to hydrate and bring up the yard details in this column impact performance so that it may take longer for information to display.

You can add, edit, and delete reporting jobs from this view. For reporting jobs, you can only use reports that exist at the current scope level and do not have a required parameter defined in the report design (on page 1) or the report definition (on page 1). Before you add a reporting job ensure that the associated configuration settings are defined.

In addition, you can use the Actions menu to:

• Schedule Job: Schedule a reporting job that exists at the current scope level. Once scheduled, the reporting job executes as a background job at the specified times.

• If a reporting job is scheduled, a bullet displays in the Is Scheduled column.

• Unschedule Job: Cancel a scheduled reporting job. The reporting job no longer runs as a background job. To run the job again, you can schedule it again or use the Execute Now (once) option.

• Execute Now (once): Execute a specific reporting job on demand.

If you do not select a reporting job in the list view, the above options are disabled and cannot be selected.
