FootPrints can run any saved report automatically at regularly scheduled times. The reports can be saved to a file on the server, emailed to a list of addresses, or both. This is configured under Administration | Workspace | Auto Run Reports.
NOTE
If FootPrints sends out an auto-run report that is formatted to include the project logo, a chart, an embedded image, or a Description, the report results are embedded in the body of the email. If the project logo or chart is not present, a standard email is sent in which report results are sent as an attachment

Note
Auto run reports are run by the FootPrints Scheduler service. On Windows, FPSchedule.exe is automatically set as a service on the FootPrints server. On UNIX, a cron job is automatically created which runs the file "MRrunScheduledScripts.pl". This service handles incoming email, outgoing email notification, escalations, mass emails, and scheduled reports. It replaces the manual scheduling necessary in previous versions.
