Regenerating Historical Instances

When viewing a scheduled instance of a report in the history, you may come across a need to rerun the report with current data. This option gives you the opportunity to regenerate that report using the same or modified parameters.

To regenerate a scheduled report:

  1. Right-click on the report in the scheduled history, and select Regenerate.
  2. Modify the scheduling options in the panel to fit your immediate reporting need. All fields are required unless otherwise noted.
    • Instance Name - Assign a name to the scheduling instance. This does not change the name of the report but may help identify a particular instance of the report.
    • Parameters - Select the prompts to be entered when the report runs. Prompts will vary according to the report selected.
    • Format and Destination - Specify the output format and location to send the report when scheduling. In most cases, you will use the default of Web Intelligence output format, but you may wish to schedule a report to run as an XLS, PDF, CSV, TXT, or CSV archive (zip) file instead. Also choose to save the report to the report history or also send it to any Acuity user in your organization. You may also opt to receive an e-mail notifying yourself and others when a report instance has successfully completed running.
  3. Click Run. The report generates immediately and is sent to the destination configured.
