SMTP Server Settings
First, we set up the SMTP Server. In the Administrator Dashboard, in the menu to the left, click Configuration, then SMTP Settings and enter information for your server. For more information about these settings, please refer to Configuring Email in the product help. 
Administrator Dashboard Settings
In the Administrator Dashboard, administrators maintain templates to use in report scheduling. Report Portal users with Scheduling permissions can use these schedule templates to add scheduling to each report as needed. Three default schedule templates are provided in the product installation.
- Daily
- Monthly
- Weekly
As administrator, you can add custom schedule templates using the Administrator Dashboard.
Shared Schedules
In the Administrator Dashboard, select Administration in the menu on the left, then Schedules to display the Shared Schedules screen, then click Add a schedule.
