7.7 Moving a Single Schedule Instance

The Calendar page allows you to move a single schedule instance by dragging and dropping the item from one date to another within the calendar. However, when you move a single schedule instance, the Calendar page automatically creates a new schedule with a new name and places the moved schedule instance on the new date that you selected as a the target for the move operation.

After you have moved a schedule instance, this run is effectively deleted from the original schedule definition, and is now added to the new schedule definition. All of the text-based attributes from the original schedule instance are copied to the new schedule instance.

The name you specify for the new schedule need not be unique across all of the report definitions within the Reporting Module. However, it does need to be unique within the list of schedules for the report definition.

You cannot move a schedule instance into the past (before the current date and time) or to a day that already has a run scheduled for the same report definition.

To move a single schedule instance to a new date:

  1. Select the schedule instance you want to move and drag it to the desired date.

    The Calendar page displays the Confirm Move Schedule dialog box.

  2. Click Move This.

  3. Specify a name for the new schedule and click Move This.

    The Calendar page creates the new schedule, moves the scheduled instance, and displays a confirmation message.
