Before creating a schedule there are several important factors to consider when selecting the schedule start and end dates.
The start date determines when the schedule becomes active. The start date combined with the frequency of the schedule may cause an unexpected result. For instance, if you create a weekly schedule to run a report every Monday, but the start date is a Wednesday, then no report will be created in that first week.
Activity Date filters will also affect the results of a scheduled report. For instance, if the schedule determines the report should run monthly, but the Activity filters are set to the "Previous 2 Weeks", then the report will not include data for the two missing weeks.
In order to generate current data each time the report is generated, make sure the Activity Date filters are set to one of the "Previous" options. If you select the From/To options and include both a start and end date, each time the report runs the results will be the same since the dates will not update.
The time zone for all schedules is the standard UTC time. If you select a different time zone in the template display options, the results generated from a schedule may not reflect the most recent activity.
