This article will cover the feature of Scheduled Reporting - what it does and how to set up Scheduled Reporting 



Important Information 


  • This will allow you to schedule certain reports to run at a certain frequency and be automatically emailed out of Blackpurl


  • For security purposes, only emails attached to Blackpurl Licensed Users can be setup to receive the Scheduled Reports


  • At the moment not all Reports can be scheduled


For the initial roll out of this feature, only basic reports will be able to be scheduled


Any report that has multiple parameters will not be able to be scheduled at this time


However our Blackpurl Development Team will continue to work on this feature so that sooner or later, all reports will be able to be scheduled 


  • For users to have access to be able to Schedule reports, they will need the User Permission: Report Scheduling
