Navigation: Function -> Sub-function -> Reports -> Report Title

1. Select Add a New Value if this is the first time running this job.
2. Run Control IDs are tied to an individual user ID and are visible only to the creator. Instead of entering the same values each time a report is run (such as when the report should run and prompts such as BUSINESS_UNIT); a Run Control can be saved with these settings. The next time the report is run, a Run Control ID is selected (in Find an Existing Value), and the system completes the settings with previously defined parameters. Be aware that certain Reports and Jobs may need to have a new Run Control depending on the parameters used. Type a Run Control ID, using alpha numeric characters with no spaces. Underscore can be used for spacing i.e. AP1_LastName.
3. Select Add.
4. Select parameters for the job. Parameters will vary depending on the job. The next time this job is run, the Run Control ID is entered and the saved parameters will appear.
5. Select Save.
6. Select Run to add the job to the Process Scheduler queue of jobs awaiting execution.
7. The Process Scheduler Request requires additional choices on how the report/job will run. These choices are Server Name, Recurrence (leave blank if one-time occurrence), and Run Date/Time (when report will run).
8. Select report from the Process List. From the dropdowns, choose the Type (email / File / Printer / Web) and Format (HTM / PDF / RTF / XLS) then click OK
9. After scheduling a job to run, the Run Control Page will display a unique Process Instance number.  Please note the number; it will be helpful for troubleshooting if needed. The Process Monitor is generally used to track the progress of a job and insure its success.  Report Manager is generally used to review the job output of a report.
10. In Process Monitor, the filters can be used to limit the Process List or the existing Process List to see the recent jobs that have been run.  The Process List includes Process Type, Process Name, UserID, Run Date/Time, Run Status (Queued, Initiated, Canceled, Success), Distribution Status (N/A, None, Generated, Not Posted, Posting, or Posted), and Details. If the Run Status indicates Success, the reports can be viewed in Report Manager. The Process Detail page contains the Message Log which helps troubleshooting if the report did not run successfully.
11. Select Report Manager to view the reports you have run. Select the Administration tab to see successfully run reports.  Select the Details link to view the report. Reports can  be deleted on this page for staff with this authorization.
