Configure Report Schedules

Schedule your reports to run automatically - daily, weekly, monthly. This way you'll get the most up to date vulnerability data with the most accurate trends. Also, you can schedule reports to run at important milestones, like the last day of the quarter, without logging in to do it.

Good to Know Your subscription must have Scheduled Reporting enabled. Please contact support or your account manager if you would like to enable this feature. Also a Manager must opt in to the New Data Security model by going to Users > Setup > Security.

 

Go to Reports > Schedules > New and start a new report. (Or start a report from the Reports tab.)

New Scan Report menu option under Schedules

Enter report settings (template, format, target, etc) like you would any report.

Then scroll down to Report Options and select Scheduling. This is where you'll tell us when and how often your report should run. In this example, the report is scheduled to run every Tuesday at 4am PST.
