Schedule a DPA report for delivery

Report schedules automatically email reports (or report groups) at regular intervals. You can send reports to managers, team members, and customers. Use report schedules to communicate database trends to people who do not have direct access to DPA, and to and highlight performance improvements across your organization.

  • Only DPA administrators can create report schedules.
  • The report recipients must be added as DPA contacts.
