Use the Schedule Report window to configure scheduling information and e-mail notification settings for a Capacity Planning report. You can access the window from the Capacity Planning tool while you are creating a report. Select the schedule report checkbox when you save the report, or use the Schedule button in the Select Report window to schedule a report that has already been saved.
| NOTE: | Scheduling Ports Reports. Depending on the size of your network and the number of ports on the devices in your network, a ports report may generate results that are too large to be delivered via e-mail. In this case, you should consider creating multiple reports based on subnet or device type. This is primarily a concern when selecting the Port Details view for your report results. |

Schedule
- Frequency
- Use the drop-down list to select the frequency with which you want the report to be run: Never, Now, Once, Daily, Weekly, or On Server Startup. The Never option lets you create a schedule for a report without actually running the report. The Now option will immediately run the report.
- Select Starting Day
- Use the drop-down list to select the month you want the schedule to start. A calendar corresponding to the selected month is displayed. Select the desired starting day by clicking on the calendar. You can use the arrows on either side of the drop-down list to change the month, and change the year by entering a new year in the text field.
