ActiveReports 11 Server Designer User Guide > How To > Publish Reports

You can publish reports by setting up schedules for when to run them. You can customize how the final report is presented to your users by selecting a format and whether to e-mail the reports as attachments or as links.

To publish a weekly report

You can publish on any schedule that you need. See Schedule Options for more information.
