Once a report has been added to a group, the running of the batch can take place. This actually takes place by selecting the Report Generator menu option, and then selecting the "Batched Reports" option. Consequently the user can select the report group required [Batch Identifier] with the box, and this will display all the reports in the selected group.

Alternatively, the user can Run batch, Exit altogether, or access online Help .

To Schedule a report, the user will enter the relevant selection criteria, then click the Schedule button on the form. This will then bring up the Timed Operations screen, and from there the user can add the report to run at a time and frequency that is convenient. For more information, refer to Batch Printing

Once the report has been printed, the user can click Close to be returned to the selection form.

There is also the opportunity to Cancel or access online Help at this point.
