Scheduling reports to run
A report instance will not run until you schedule it or tell Fathom to run it immediately.
To run a report immediately:
After you run the report, you can view the output by clicking View Last Output File. See the "Viewing report output" section for more information about viewing report output.
To schedule a report to run at another time:
- If the report's Summary page is not displayed, choose the report from the Defined Reports section of the list frame. The Summary page appears.
- From the Summary page, click Schedule. The Report Schedule page appears, as shown below:
![]()
- Choose a start date and time.
Use cron-based scheduling when you need a report to run at a specific time, such as according to a business period interval (on the last Friday of the month, or every ten minutes from 4 P.M. to 6 P.M. daily, for example). You can include from one to five cron expressions (separated by semi-colons) in the Cron expression field in a job schedule. For more details about using cron expressions, click the Cron expression field Help button or see the chapter on jobs in the Resource Monitoring Guide.- Determine the repeat interval: One time, At startup, Weekly from date, Monthly from date, Every 5 minutes, Every 15 minutes, Every 30 minutes, Every 60 minutes, Daily, or Cron expression.
- Select which days to include.
- Select the Enabled check box (if it is not already selected).
- Click Save.
After the report's scheduled run, you can view the output by clicking View Last Output File from the Summary page.
