Configure report schedule

A report schedule emails backup activity reports on a recurring basis, so you do not have to export them by hand. Reports arrive as CSV attachments at the addresses you nominate.

For a one-off export, see View reports.

Open the schedule list

1. From the main menu, select Database Platform → Advanced Features.

   

2. Click Go to Reporting, then open the Report Schedules tab. With no schedules yet, the list shows "Nothing Found".

   

Each schedule shows:

Column	Description
Schedule name	The schedule name.
Report type	The report type, such as Backup Report.
Data period	The period each report covers.
Report frequency	How often the report is sent.
Email recipients	Who receives it.
Created at	When the schedule was created.
Action	Edit or delete the schedule.

Create a schedule

1. On the Report Schedules tab, click Add Schedule.

   

2. Fill in the fields:

   • Schedule Name: 6 to 25 characters, containing only English letters, numbers, spaces, underscores, and hyphens.
   • Report Type: Backup Report is currently the only type and is selected by default.
   • Data Period: the period each report covers.
   • Report Frequency: how often the schedule runs. This is set automatically by your Data Period choice.
   • Day To Send: which day the schedule runs, also driven by Data Period.
   • Time To Send: the time of day the schedule runs.
   • Database Cluster: the clusters to include. Select several, or choose Select All.
   • Email Recipients: the addresses that receive the report. Use + to add an address and – to remove one. Each must be a valid address, and duplicates are not allowed.

3. Click Save.

The new schedule appears at the top of the list.

How Data Period drives frequency

Data Period determines the other two timing fields, so choose it first.

Data Period	Covers	Report Frequency	Day To Send
Yesterday	00:00:00 yesterday to now	Daily	Fixed at Daily, not editable
Last 7 days	The previous 7 days	Weekly	Any day of the week
Last 30 days	The previous 30 days	Monthly	Any day from 1 to 31
Last month	The previous full calendar month	Monthly	Any day from 1 to 31

With Last month selected on 17/04/2025, the report covers 01/03/2025 to 31/03/2025.

note

If you pick a day that a month does not have, such as 31 in February, the schedule runs on that month's last day instead.
