I'm ready to create my report schedule. What are the steps?
Go to Reports > Schedules, click New Schedule and tell us:
1) which web application to report on (target of your report),
2) when to generate the report, and
3) select Activate Notification (optional) to send an email alerts to users. Just tell use the users you want to notify.
Want to immediately generate the scheduled report? Simply, click Launch now from the Quick Actions menu.
What notifications are sent?
We'll send an email each time report generation is complete to the users you select. You can tell us which email address should be used in the notification. The From Address dropdown populates two options: email address of the scheduled report owner and email address configured in your subscription (for example qualys@qualys.com). Choose one email address from the dropdown. Show meShow me
These users will also receive emails if a scheduled report did not run for any reason. What about the schedule owner? By default the report schedule owner does not receive an alert each time report generation is complete. This owner does receive an alert each time a report did not run for some reason.
