Schedule Tasks and Schedule Table

The KANA Reports user interface provides you with the ability to supply report parameters and submit a report for processing and viewing. Timing and recurring schedule parameters can be set and tasks created.

The Schedule table on the Reports console contains a listing of scheduled tasks and status of execution for each task in the Scheduled tab. You can update and delete tasks from this location if you are an Administrator or other role with the required permissions.

In addition to the Scheduled tab, there are Active and Completed tabs, which provide details about scheduled tasks.

The Reports console filters functionality based on the role and privileges of the user. Report Administrators may review all scheduled reports, see who scheduled the reports and then take action, such as deleting reports, or making reports inactive.

Start scheduling a report task by clicking the Schedule icon in the Control area.

The Toolbar above the Schedule table holds the following options:

Run now	Run the report schedule now.
