End date

Choose from the options:

Always use the specified date – uses the date specified in the Report Configuration tab.

Adjust date relative to execution time - adjusts the date in the Report Configuration tab by the pattern in the Recurrence tab, ie by 1 day, 1 month etc.


OR

Dynamically set the date to X before execution time - this ignores the dates in the Report Configuration tab and uses the pattern in the Recurrence tab, and the date in the Activation tab.

Dynamically select X before execution time - this takes the date in the Activation tab and moves it by X. This is most useful for monthly reports where the above option will not always be accurate. This option will select the end of the selected month (or the beginning if choosing the Start date)

Schedule List – this section shows all current schedules within your database. Right-clicking on these will give you the following options: Edit, Remove or Run Now.

Scheduler Log – this section details the current status of the Scheduler system. Any problems or warnings will be highlighted in either red or yellow. You can access the full scheduler logs via the Sigma Service.

Running Schedules – this section will show any scheduled tasks that are currently running on your system. It will also highlight if the Sigma Service cannot be found.

Technical Details

The scheduler system relies upon the Sigma Service to function. If the service cannot be found then your scheduled items will fail.
Should you need to consult the Sigma Service logs you can access these from the .teamsigma directory on the hardware that runs the Sigma Service. Contact your Support team should you have any queries about this.
