Generating scheduled reports

Scheduled Reports send FileWave report results to one or more email addresses on a schedule, so an admin does not have to sign in and run the same report manually. They can be used for license reports or inventory Queries.

How to create Scheduled Reports

1. In FileWave Central, select Assistants → Scheduled Reports… from the menu bar.
   

• Click the "+" in the lower left of the window to create a new scheduled report. Existing reports appear in this same list.
  
  
• Choose a Report Type:
  • Licenses: sends the information listed in License Management, including VPP licenses and manually created licenses from Filesets or inventory.
  • Query: sends the results of a selected inventory Query.

• Enter the email address that should receive the scheduled report.

• Enter a Mail Subject and the Email content/body so recipients know what the scheduled report is for.
• If you are signed in to FileWave Central as the Superuser, the Owner section is visible. The selected owner affects scheduled-report results because the report runs with that user's permissions.
  Example: If Greg Stevens owns a report for all devices but does not have permission to view iOS devices, iOS devices will not appear in that report.

• After you select an Owner, set when the report should be sent:
  • Every day
    • skip weekends
  • Every week on
  • Every month on
• Optional: if the Report Type is set to Query, select which inventory Query should be sent.
  

• Click OK to save the scheduled report. You can then view existing reports or send the report immediately.
