following options are available:
• Daily - If you select daily, select how frequently you want the management server to send the
report.
• Everyday - The report is sent every day.
• Weekday - The report is sent only Monday through Friday.
• Everyday for a specified number of days - Fill in the number of days you want the report
to be sent daily. After the specified number of days, the report is no longer sent. For
example, you could use this feature to send reports to a person’s replacement while the
person is away on vacation.
• Weekly - If you selected weekly, use the Frequency menu to select the day of the week on
which you want the report sent.
• Monthly - If you selected monthly, select the time during the month you want the report sent.
• To send the report on the first or last day of the month, select the first option, and then
select First or Last from the menu.
• To send the report on a specified day during the month, select the second option, and
then enter the day on which you want the report sent. Keep in mind that the number of
days in a month varies. So if you enter 30 in this box, users will not receive a report in
February. Also, if you enter 29 in this box, users do not receive the report in February
during non-leap years.
