Scheduling Reports

Hi

Does BOXI allow me to schedule reports and then allow the parameters to automatically amended. for example : each month the start and end date gets amended automatically via a calculation or preset parameters or another method.

Is this possible ? many thanks

Many thanks

What are you looking at with your start and end date?

Are you looking at relative dates?

If so, create relative dates in your universe and then use them within your query conditions rather than actual dates or prompts.

Hi

I am primarily looking to run it on preset dates based on a calender so it would last day of the month. So I would look to use Report run date.

How would I do this. Would I create a Today dimension which would feed into the Report itself…

Many thanks

Have a look at this topic:

It explains how to create these objects. You can then use them in query conditions instead of prompts or hard-coded dates.
