Please follow these steps to set up PROMODAG Reports to automatically generate reports:
- Create a report options file by selecting the report and its options.
- Create a batch file and select the report options files used to generate the reports.
- Schedule the batch file using Windows standard scheduler.
A. Creating a report options file
To create a reports option file, select a report from the Reports main menu. Enter the configuration options for the report, then click the Save button on the report configuration screen to create the report options file. By default, the file will be saved under the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Promodag\Reports\x\Batches directory (replace the x with the Promodag Reports version number).
B. Creating and scheduling a batch file
To create a batch file, select Tools > Task Automation to access the automation screen. Click on the New batch button and enter a file name and description. By default, the file will be saved under the Batches subdirectory of PROMODAG Reports.
From the Batch file list box, select the batch file to schedule. When you click on the Schedule button, the standard Windows Task Scheduler displays for scheduling.
