Scheduled Reports

What are scheduled reports?

Scheduled reports is a feature in Endpoint Central that helps you to receive predefined reports, query reports and custom reports in specific formats like CSV, XLS and PDF. By using this feature, you do not have to go to the Endpoint Central web console and individually view reports. Instead, you can simply use this feature for the reports to be sent to you via mail at scheduled times. These reports are automatically scheduled and compiled and can also be sent to multiple people at once by configuring the settings.

You receive scheduled reports in the following formats namely:

Attachment : You can receive the scheduled reports as an attachment to your e-mail ID.

Zipped file : In case you have selected a lot of reports to be received as a scheduled report, you can choose to receive these as zipped files to you mail.

URL : If the size of the report exceeds the permissible size by your mail server, you can choose this option to publish the reports that you have selected on Endpoint Central server and the path will be sent to you mail ID.

A code that is mapped to the file path of the report is sent along with the download URL for the report so that the end user can download just the report with the help of the URL.
