Scheduled jobs are a great way to get your weekly reports sent to you for usage in other third-party applications. They can be configured to your timezone to allow you to send yourself a report at a specified time in the form of an Excel or CSV file. This article will help you create and utilize scheduled jobs.

1. From the home page in Popdock, select the hamburger menu in the upper left corner, and then select Scheduler.

5. Lastly, select the Schedule radio button. Here use the Schedule type drop down menu to select the frequency at which you want your email to be sent.

The different options for Schedule type are as followed:

Every day: The scheduled job will run at the specified time every day.

Select days of the week: The job will only run on the specified days of the week and will not run on the days that are not selected (i.e. running the job at the end of the day every Friday).

Select days of the month: The job will only run on the days selected within the month (i.e. the job only runs on the 1st and 15th of every month).

Last day of the month: The job will only run on the last day of the month at the established time.

Lastly, use the Run job at field to enter the time you want your job to be executed at for your selected frequency.

The time must be in a 24-hour format for the job to run (i.e. for Central time, 6:00 p.m. would be entered as 18:00).
