Schedule an Export Report

If you have an export report that you run on a routine basis, you can schedule the report to automatically run daily, weekly, or monthly. The following table provides a description of the options you can specify when scheduling a report.

Scheduling Option

Description
Start Date The Start Date is the first day that Unite will run the scheduled report.
End Date The End Date is the last day that Unite will run the scheduled report. If you do not specify an end date, Unite runs the report until you add an end date or remove the schedule from the report.
Frequency The Frequency determines how often you want Unite to run the report.
Output The Output defines the format in which Unite generates the report.
FileName (no. ext) The FileName is the name assigned to the output file generated by the scheduled report.
Sent Data to University The Sent Data to University check box is a flag to identify the records associated with the process of transferring data to a university system. The checkbox is updated whenever Unite generates the scheduled report.

Scheduled reports display on the HOME page in the Scheduled Reports section on the communications panel. At any time after you schedule a report, you can delete the schedule or specify an end date for the schedule to stop.

Export reports must be associated with a condition before you can set up a schedule. The steps to schedule an export report differ depending on whether the report is already associated with the correct condition, or you want to select a condition and then schedule the report.
