Why Schedule Reports? 

There are two main reasons to schedule reports:

1. Convenience in the generation and distribution of reports that run regularly and must be generated at a specific time. An example would be a billing report which needs to be run monthly to reconcile and troubleshoot billing queries.
    
2. Reports that should only send when there is information contained with them. An example would be a battery status report that only sends when at least one device has experienced a battery warning within the reporting timeframe. This functions somewhat like an alert. 

Setting up a report

• Go to Reports from the side menu
• Select the report type that you're interested in
• Press the Schedule button
• Give your report a name in the modal that appears
• Select any device groups filters that you want to apply (i.e. 'only customer A')
• Pick report-specific conditions and filters
• Choose the reporting timeframe frequency by changing to the schedule tab within the modal

• Choose the recipients of the report with the recipients tab, you will only be able to pick live users within Device Manager
