Reports can be scheduled to run automatically at a given time/date, or on multiple occasions.
Report Schedules can be configured with particular settings, including recurrence, report parameters, output options and notifications.
Community BI allows you to create Ad Hoc Views, Reports and Dashboards that can be shared with any users of the system.
Reports are a more formal way of displaying information captured in an Ad Hoc View. Reports allow you to share the information with authorised persons who may not have access to the BI system.
