Setting Up a "Rolling Month" Autoload

The Rolling Month Autoload option is one of a group of Autoload options that enable you to run an Autoload at specific time intervals.
    Some combinations of Report Period options, (under How) and Frequency options, (under When) are illogical. The following
         procedure assumes you are using the "logical" combination.


To setup a "Rolling Month" Autoload:
  1. Open the Autoload Scheduler application.
  2. In the Applications Scheduled to Autoload list, select the applications for which you want to setup a "Rolling Month" Autoload.
  3. Click the Edit Icon.
    The Setup Autoload dialog box appears.
  4. Under When, in the Frequency box, click the arrow and select Daily.
  5. Under When, in the Next scheduled run date and time boxes, click the calendar and time buttons and specify the next time you want the Autoload to run.
  6. Under How, in the Report period box, click the arrow and select Rolling Month.
  7. Under How, in the Start date and time boxes, click the calendar and time buttons and specify the beginning of the report period.
  8. Under How, in the Stop date and time boxes, click the calendar and time buttons and specify the end of the report period. Generally, the Start date/time and the Stop date/time are specified as one month apart.
  9. Click OK.
    The Autoload report will run for a period of one month at its next scheduled run time. The Start and Stop fields are advanced by one day and the next report is run for a month, beginning one day later than the initial start date and ending one day later than the initial end day.
