Exporting a report

From the run drawer, after previewing: Which formats a report offers is set on the report itself.

​
Scheduling

A report can be given a frequency — daily, weekly or monthly — and OnTime will run it on that cadence. The library shows the next scheduled run.
A scheduled run produces no delivery. This is the important limitation. OnTime does run the report on schedule and refreshes its last-run timestamp and row count — but there is no email or file delivery of the output. The only visible result of a scheduled run is updated metadata in the library.If you need a report to arrive somewhere on a schedule, pull it through the public API instead.
Two further behaviours worth knowing:
  • A schedule missed by more than 24 hours is re-armed and skipped, not backfilled. A system that was down over a weekend does not produce three catch-up runs on Monday.
  • A schedule can be set on a non-runnable report. The schedule form does not check whether the report can actually produce data. Harmless today, since nothing is delivered either way, but do not read a scheduled deferred report as working.

​
Every export in OnTime

Reports are not the only place data leaves the system. The full set:
Outside the Reports library, exports are CSV only (with the two exceptions above: holidays as ICS, the compliance bundle as ZIP). If you need Excel or PDF for something the library covers, run it there instead of exporting from the feature screen.
