Export to SmartFolder or SFTP
=Export to SmartFolder or SFTP=
A report can now be automated to export to a SmartFolder or an external SFTP site. You can now schedule a recurring task on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis to automatically run a report and export the contents.
The file will be exported based the normal ''File Export''' and no option for '''Custom Export'''  is currently available.
<!--54913 - Ability to store report export to specified SmartFolder-->
<!--67965 - Extend schedule report export to custom template-->
From the report configuration, go to '''FILE EXPORT''' tab and under '''Go to  [[Scheduled Report Export''', ]] on how to configure desired settings:scheduled report exports.

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 and time 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 *
