[sims] CR 1502-1359312 (Export CSV on Scheduled Report)

[iamdannygreen]

Hi All,

 

Apologies for the canvasing, but I would appreciate your support on a change request I have submitted to Capita. (1502-1359312).

 

I am currently setting up scheduled reports at a number of our schools (we are an Academy Trust), these scheduled reports export a CSV for various data every night and saves it to a network share. However, the scheduled report doesn't actually export the CSV until someone acknowledges that the report has been run by clicking on the notification that appears on the SIMS home page, at this point it finally saves the CSV. To me this isn't really scheduling anything, it just creates a link to a report on your homepage at a certain time.

 

I would appreciate it if you could support the CR by selecting Agree/Strongly Agree via SupportNet

 

Thanks

Danny

Silly question, but can't you use the commandreporter? Or do you want it to show up like autoreport style?

Hi Steve,

 

Thanks for the reply,

 

I've had a look at command reporter, but ideally we'd like non-technical staff to be able to update the schedule etc. In the interim it may be the best way forward though.

 

Thanks

Danny

+2 sir. I know what you mean, you'd expect it to create the file.

Command Reporter could be set to run every night, and you just tell them where the file is. They can access it on their schedule.
