About Report Scheduler

In Data as a Service (DaaS), the report attributes you're assigned in Identity and Access Management (IAM) determine the reports you can access. Having access to a report allows you to:

  • Preview the report.
  • Export or save the report in a different format.
  • Run the report.

DaaS provides two ways to run a report:

  • On-Demand - Manually request the report directly from the My Reports page.
  • Scheduled - If you're given access to a report with report scheduler capabilities, and you're enabled to schedule reports, you can schedule the report to run on a specific date and time.

To eliminate report generation wait time and retrieve reports on your schedule, use DaaS Report Scheduler. Dayforce internal users use the Report Scheduling Access page to enable users to schedule reports. After you are enabled to schedule reports, the next time the My Reports page opens, this icon shows beside each report that you have permission to schedule.

  • Increases overall report user engagement.
  • Decreases report generation time.
  • Allows you to edit or delete a report schedule.
  • The report:
    • Is delivered in a Comma-Separated Value (CSV) formatted file versus a Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) file.
    • Can be scheduled to run one time or multiple times.
    • Can have multiple schedules.
  • Traditional Power BI reports have the following data export limits:
    • 150,000 rows when exporting to Excel
    • 30,000 rows when exporting to CSV
  • The DaaS Report Scheduler can export up to 7,000,000 rows.

If you've scheduled reports in the last seven days, on the DaaS Home page in the Recent Reports section, a Scheduled Reports section appears. This section shows the following information for up to 10 of the last scheduled reports you requested.

  • Report name
  • Schedule name
  • Schedule type
  • Status
  • Last run date
  • Next run date

For each scheduled report in this section, when you click the report name, the report schedule page opens. If a CSV file is available, it's listed on the report schedule page.

Note: After a request is made, the scheduled report is available in CSV format for seven days.
