they run at a time that is convenient for you.

In this exercise, you will learn how to

save a report as a report view

schedule a report so it runs daily

use the schedule management tool to view the status of the
schedule

You are a business analyst for the Great Outdoors company.
You want to schedule the Return Quantity by Product Line
Chart report because some people in your organization need
the data updated daily. You schedule the report to run
daily, and then check that it is properly scheduled.

Things to Notice
When a report runs according to a schedule, the report
output is saved and appears in the Action column in Cognos
Connection.

At any time, you can click the arrow next to the help
button, and click Go to the Welcome Page to return to the
Cognos 8 Welcome page.

the GO Data Warehouse (analysis) package, and then click

button next to the report.

In the Name box, remove the words Report View of from the
beginning of the name, type (Daily) at the end of the name,
