Generating scheduled reports

Scheduled Reports email FileWave license or inventory report results to one or more recipients on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule. In FileWave Central 16.3.0 and later, the main feature is named Reports (formerly Queries). The Scheduled Reports dialog still uses Query for its Report Type and inventory-report selector, so this article keeps that label where it matches the dialog.

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.
