You can assign the application report generation tasks that it will run according to the specified schedule. The application will generate reports in accordance with the requirements specified in the task settings.

Report generation tasks that have not yet been executed or cannot be run at the scheduled time are highlighted with red. The details of reasons that interfere with execution of a task are displayed in the task table as follows:
