In MINT it is possible to ''schedule'' a report, i.e. to let the system execute it regularly, based on a defined time pattern. A report can thus be created once and then run regularly, each time on the newest available data. The result of a report can be stored in different formats such as PDF, Excel, Word, etc. in the MINT repository, and/or can be sent out by email to a specified list of recipients. Therefore, it is possible to actively notify users who do not need to have a MINT account.
==Schedule a report==__NOEDITSECTION__
In order to schedule a report, follow these steps:
<ol>
<li>In the repository, right-click on a report and select '''Schedule...'''
[[File:MINT_report_schedule.png|center]]</li>
<li>In the '''Scheduled Jobs''' window, click '''Schedule Job'''
[[File:MINT_report_schedule_job.png|center]]</li>
<li>The job schedule editor is composed of four tabs:</li>
<ol>
<li>'''Schedule''' (labelled report.scheduling.schedule): allows to specify a schedule for the report execution. The recurrence can be None, Simple or Calendar. ''None'' means that the job is executed only once (either immediately or at a specified date). The ''Simple'' mode allows to specify a time interval and an end date for the job execution. The ''Calendar'' mode allows to schedule the job according to a calendar, e.g. every Monday in certain months at 8 am. Once the configuration is done, click on the next tab to proceed.</li>
<li>'''Parameters''': this tab is only enabled if the report to be scheduled has input controls (filters). If there are any, then the values for those input controls need to be specified. In this example, the report has the following parameters: a start date between two date values, a type of activity and a province. A value needs to be specified for each of those parameters.

Once the configuration is done, click on the next tab to proceed.</li>
<li>'''Output''' (labelled report.scheduling.job.edit.output):</li>
<li>'''Notification''' (labelled report.scheduling.job.edit.notifications):</li>
</ol>
</ol>
