NOTE: The Advanced reporting feature is available via remote access only.
The LMC can automatically generate and e-mail the Events Report.
To automatically generate reports, set up one or more scheduled jobs using advanced reporting
options. You can specify when and how often the report is generated, what report templates are
used, and which e-mail recipients receive the report. You can also edit and delete scheduled jobs.
NOTE: To automatically send reports to recipients, the library must be configured for sending
e-mail. For more information, see “Configuring e-mail” (page 51) .

more templates for each report you want to automatically generate.

2. Under Specify Report Criteria, click criteria options in the lists to customize the content and
appearance of the report.
For more information about choosing report criteria, see “Generating the Events report” (page
206) .
NOTE: To save a template you must customize the Specify Report Criteria information.
3. Under Templates, click Save.
4. Type a name for the template, and then click OK.
The template appears in the list under Templates.
