#### General tab

Before you can schedule a task, you first need to configure the settings in this tab. See the tab.

Schedule Name

Specifies the name for the currently scheduled task.

Priority

Specifies a priority level to the report running task. The priority levels are from 1 to 10 in ascending order of lowest priority to highest priority. This property is available to administrators. By default this property is ignored unless server.properties is modified to set queue.policy not equal to 0.

##### Enter Parameters section

Specifies the reports and parameter values.

Select Reports

Specifies the report(s) you schedule to run. You can select multiple normal reports at a time.

Select Bursting Reports

This option is available when there are bursting reports in the current report set. Select the bursting report you schedule to run. You can select only one bursting report at a time.

Once you choose to schedule to run a bursting report, you should at least either complete Bursting Configuration for the report or select Non-bursting result in order to submit the task.

Bursting Configuration

- Select Schema
  Specifies the schema you want to apply to the selected bursting report. You can select multiple schemas to apply to the report.

Non-bursting Result

If checked, the bursting definition will be removed from the report and the result will be generated based on whole data without data splitting.

Parameters

Specifies values of the parameters applied in the selected reports. If the reports have no parameter, "No Parameter Needed" will be displayed here.

You may specify parameter values in the following ways:

- In the parameter value combo boxes input the values manually or select them from the drop-down lists.
- Click the button , which is available when the parameter's Allow Multiple Values was set to true while it was created in JReport Designer, to specify multiple values in the Enter Values dialog.
- If the parameter is of DateTime type, click the calendar button to set a DateTime value with calendar.
- If the parameter is of Date, DateTime, or Time type, check the checkbox ahead of the button and then click the button to specify a dynamic date or time parameter value with expression in the Expression dialog.
- Click the Use Previously Saved Auto Complete Parameters link, which is available when Enable Saving Parameter Values is checked in the Profile > Customize Server Preferences > Advanced tab, to select a previously saved parameter value list to apply. You can view the parameter values of the available lists or delete the unwanted list in the prompted dialog as required.

Save Current Parameters in Auto Complete List

Specifies to save the parameter values set for the specified report for reuse next time. The parameter values will then be saved as a whole marked as a list, and you need to provide a name for the list in the prompted dialog as required. This link is available when Enable Saving Parameter Values is checked in the Profile > Customize Server Preferences > Advanced tab.

If multiple reports are selected, the parameter values specified for all of the reports are saved as a list. The next time only when these very reports are selected, can the list be available for apply when you click the Use Previously Saved Auto Complete Parameters link.

In addition, the parameter value lists saved for the selected reports are limited. The maximum number is controlled by the option Maximum Number of Auto Complete Parameters List in the Profile > Customize Server Preferences > Advanced tab. By default it is 3. When the number of the saved parameter value lists reaches the maximum number, if you want to save another parameter list, it will overwrite the oldest list.

##### Report Set Info section

##### Advanced section

Configures some advanced settings.

Enable Style Group

When this option is disabled as default, use the style group properties of the selected reports for corresponding exporting formats that are pre-defined in JReport designer to do the schedule. These pre-defined style group properties for exporting formats take effect when publishing to version/disk/e-mail/FTP.

When this option is enabled, you are allowed to apply a style group to all the selected reports in the report set for all export formats. This setting will cancel all the style group properties of the selected reports for all export formats that are pre-defined in JReport Designer and replace them all with the value specified here.

When the None item on the top of the Style Group drop-down list is selected, no style will be applied when exporting these reports to any format.

Enables you to call the Java application before/after viewing or when scheduling the report set.

With Load Balancer, prefer a server to run the task

This option is available only when there are more than one active clustered servers in a cluster environment and when the Identify Server Preference option in the Customize Server Preferences tab of Profile dialog is selected.
