A scheduled report runs by itself: “Reports that go out by themselves, every day, week or month.” Use one for the figures someone needs on a fixed day, such as the low stock list for the person who orders.

Not available yet

Scheduled reports are not emailed yet. Kila runs each one on time and says Report sent, but no email reaches the people listed. Open the report under Money › Reports when you need it: see Run a report. The daily summary email is sent.

  1. Open Scheduled reports

    Go to Money › Reports. Scheduled reports is at the foot of the page, with each schedule, How often, who it is Sent to, when it was Last sent and the Next time. Tap Schedule a report.

The buttons at the end of each schedule’s line:

  • Send now runs it straight away: Kila says Report sent, though no email goes out yet.
  • Pause stops it for now (Schedule paused, and Next says Paused). Resume starts it again.
  • Delete asks first: “Nobody receives it after this.”

Good to know

Scheduled reports come with Advanced reports, and only people whose role can export reports set them up.

Next: for the whole day in one email, switch on the daily summary.
