:** '''Update Status After Export''' - status of the records will changed to the selected status after export.
:** '''Trigger Workflow After Export''' - workflow selected will be triggered to all records after export.
:** '''Export File Name''' - file name of the file can be specified including stamp date. It is recommended to append a timestamp. To stamp the date, use [YYYY],[YY],[MM],[DD],[HH],[mm]. i.e. MyExportedReport_[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]
:** '''Last Exported''' - date of the last export.
===Examples===
:*:* Export Every Monday of the week @ 0900
Choose a future date that falls on a Monday for the '''Start Date''', '''Weekly''' for the '''Frequency''' and select the '''Time of Export''' dropdown list.
:*:* Export Every 15th of the month
Choose '''15th''' (future date) for the '''Start Date''' and '''Monthly''' for the '''Frequency''' and select the '''Time of Export''' dropdown list.
:*
===Troubleshooting===
:*:* This won't work for reports that have any criteria, or reports with any other variables that require a user session or user input - for instance, the setting that allows you to select a template from a SmartFolder before exporting. Reports violating these will either not be exported, or have no data when exported, or maybe some other unpredictable result.:*:* To reset/change the schedule, '''Disabled''' the '''Frequency''' then save it. This will delete the current setting configurations from the database. Then, enter new schedule settings and save.:*:* No option for '''Custom Export''' is currently available
