7.1 Viewing the Calendar

7.1.1 Displaying the Calendar Page

To display the calendar, click Calendar in the left navigation menu.

The Calendar page shows scheduled reports, as well as reports that have been initiated with the Run Now button. In addition, it shows finished reports, reports that are still in progress, and reports that failed during execution. Finished reports, reports that are still in progress, and failed reports are shown with a gray background, and reports that have not been executed yet appear with a white background. All days that have already passed are shown with a gray background.

The Calendar page presents a continuous view of the calendar, rather than a simple month-by-month view. This means that the data is not separated based on calendar months. Instead, it is presented in chunks of several weeks at a time, where each row corresponds to a week. You can adjust the number of weeks displayed by setting the Calendar Options for the page.

The Calendar page shows scheduled runs in the user’s time zone, not the server’s time zone. However, scheduled runs are executed according to the server’s time zone, and the time stamp on an executed report reflects the time on the server at the time of the run.

The scroll bar for the browser lets you scroll within the current view, but does not move forward to show additional weeks in the calendar.

7.1.2 Scrolling within the Calendar Display

To include an additional row (move forward one week) in the calendar view, press the down-arrow key.

To remove a row (go back one week) in the calendar view, press the up-arrow key.

To scroll down to the next set of weeks in the calendar view, press Ctrl+down-arrow.

You can also scroll down by clicking the Go forward icon.

Alternatively, you can use the mouse wheel to scroll weeks in the calendar view.

To scroll up to the next set of weeks in the calendar view, press Ctrl+up-arrow or click the Go back icon.

7.1.3 Viewing the Schedule for Today

When you first display the Calendar page, today’s report runs are shown in the display. If you scroll away from today’s schedule, you might need to return to it later. If so, click the Today button.
