Report schedule parameters
Overview
Form, List and Analysis reports can be scheduled to be generated automatically on a periodic basis. The scheduling process involves selecting a parameter type that you want to run the report with and then defining the parameters.
Sometimes though, you will not be able to pre-set a value that makes sense each time the report is run. An example of this is when you are setting a "Start Date" or "End Date" field. If you wanted a report to run for the last 7 days, filling a start date or end date into the "Value" field might work okay for when the report runs today, but will be out of date tomorrow. In these cases you need to fill in a "parameter".
