Report Delivery Task: Create One-Time or Scheduled Tasks
Feature Overview
Report delivery tasks automate recurring reports. You can create a one-time task to generate a report quickly, or a scheduled task that runs daily or weekly and sends the result to selected recipients depending on page capabilities.
Create a Task (General Flow)
- Open report task delivery and click create task.
- Choose a report type and enter a task name so the team can recognize it easily.
- Choose the task mode:
- One-time: usually requires a specific time range
- Scheduled: runs daily or weekly, with cycle and time zone configured as prompted
- Choose the device scope, using batch selection if the page supports it.
- Configure recipients if email delivery is needed, then save after confirming everything.
Recommendations
- Validate the report definition with a one-time task first, then convert it into a scheduled task after the result is confirmed.
- Use task names that include period, definition, and scope, such as Weekly Report - Geofence Alerts - All Devices.
FAQ
Q: Why doesn't a scheduled task ask for a time range?
A: Scheduled tasks usually calculate the time window automatically according to their cycle and generate the report at execution time.
